Great James, now don't give it to us.
First time harvesting brugmansia's seeds.
Heck no I wouldnt think of it!!!
Hope you can see these.
Here's another.
The first one was peaches x white, the second was whitex pink and this one is Vixen x Delta Dawn.
I can see them, I can see them! Robin, what day was it that you sowed the seeds do you remember?
Feb. 4th! That is according our post above. Just for the record. 10 days! Those babiez sprouted real fast! Wow!
Kim
Aw, Robin, they are so cute.. I loved your story about your DH and the tomato's on the heat mat. Grow little brug seeds, grow grow grow! lol Hope you get some warmer weather to melt that mess away. James, glad to hear you're feeling better and checking in at DG..
I think yours should be popping out soon now. Maybe yours was alittle deeper than ours.
Yep Feb 4th is what I have listed and I soaked for 24 hrs in H202!
I told my dh it was because I was special.
B, I'm going to make an effort to mail these seeds out so they can start growing for you all. lol,lol. Time is a factor! I've gotta get busy. lol,lol. (remember, the seedpods still on the tree -- as soon as they're ripe, I'll rush them out).
Great, thanks Kim
I haven't given up on the ones I got from Happ.... but I guess you can sense my need to see the little heads breaking through... lol I'm pretty patient, . . . maybe you can point a fan in their direction to help in the maturing process? ha Robin, you're pretty busy, talking bananas with Brian and posting pics of your "newborn" brugs. Are you going to make the Central states Spring RU in April?
No, I wish I could, we have one of our special events at work that weekend, so I have to be there or no one will get to eat at it.
Oh, darn. I had hoped we could meet in person. It's impossible to pick a date everyone can be there. I still haven't committed, but I'm sure going to try to make it, I have brugs for Happ & Anna (if I didn't give them this one already), and other brugs I've started just for the plant swap. By then, I'll have other stuff, too. I need to check on my lone Versi pod this weekend, but I think it's still green. (I'm waiting, waiting, waiting)
Sounds like you all making plans for up coming RU, what fun! Here at home, I've a couple (RU) to prep for. :-)
At the meantime, the pods that I've promised to everyone are getting ripe! Harvesting time again! Woohoooo.
WWWWWWOOOOOOOHOOOO!!! I have so many brugs started now but I would love some more.....lol
James
Those pods are looking great, it shouldn't be long now.
Look like I've four pods, and I promised it to 1. Jame, 2. Robin, 3. Lu, 4 B, and 5. Marie. 6. Deb. So I guess I'll need to mix them all up and devide them equally for everyone. Since these are open pollinated with other two brugs blossoms (peach and pink) that I had at the time. Will that be ok for everyone?
Oh goody, goody! Yours are further along than my loner... James, nice to "hear" the excitement from you, you must feel much better today. I always feel like I'm on vacation when I go to a round-up... So much fun and excitement and you get to bring home the BEST souvenirs! Kim, did you put a fan on those pods?? lol
It's ok with me Kim. I just want all kinds of brugs to smell up my place.
You just package em up any way you wish. I'll be thrilled just to "bury" some and watch em sprout! (You know, I don't really NEED anymore brugs, but I simply can't resist) Thanks so much Kim!!
sure will I love to try anything!!!
LOL, yes I'm glad to hear James is feeling better, too. B; no fan, but I tried to blow at them everytime I passed by them. lol.
Do you remember when your pod was conceived? lol, mine was roughly Oct. last year, just before I brought them indoor.
Kim
Thanks guys it feels good to be feeling better that is for sure. I am tired of broth I actually made myself a grilled cheese sandwhich not to long ago and wow it felt great to eat it.
James
Hurry up and get well James, just don't make any soup with the seeds I sent, I'll feel a whole lot better, myself. lol. Just a while to go, spring is almost here!!!
Purdy.
Glad you're better James, hate that nasty sick feeling too. So far so good this winter, only a sinus infection and a small cold, no flu. Knock on wood.
Oh pretty! Color! Lucky you! We're getting rain, ice, and snow this weekend! :( But, I did see numerous flocks of geese flying south on the way to work, so I'm taking it as a sign Spring will be here pretty soon. The blooming rose is a welcome sight... it's all brown and dead looking here, except for a few blooms and greenery I have in my house. My pod has been hanging around since last Fall. When I moved them inside, I didn't notice it until a lot of the leaves dropped. The pod covering part at the top is brown, so I'm waiting for the pod to start changing. Wow, they take a long time... I better start hand pollinating ASAP this spring!
I will hand pollinate this year too. It will be fun, kind a like creating our own plants.
You bet! Collecting pollens too would speed up the process. When my lone brug bloomed last year. I didn't have anything to cross pollinate with. So I rushed out to the nursery and bought two other blooming brugs in order to cross mine. Fellow DGers were generous too, they offered to send me pollens. Visit some classic thread on pollination with a brush, and collecting them to save in the fridge is a good project for spring. :-)
Brugie was creditted to my success. I learned from her last summer -- so I thought I pass it on. Enjoy.

Love the Doors. even my daughter likes them.
I watch the movie 'Ghost Rider' over and over just to hear the song at the end.
Cruisin' down the hiway with their music blaring was a favorite past time for me.
LOL, we are all now revealing our ages. lol. I love the musics and movies too. lol.
