Imagine this Growing

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

in the middle of Podunk Missouri!!! This is growing at our local Nursery and it is HUGE!!!! It is a NOID, but a beauty just the same. I forgot what color it said the flowers are, but I hope to go back to find it in bloom very soon. Now if I could have just found something to take some cuttings off of it!! :oP

May Princess Kathy know we are all with her in our hearts!!!

Hey!!! Tammy I never leave home without my trusty pink swiss army knife ;^}
I think your brugs could get that big !

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Ya really think with our shorter growing season they could get anywhere near that big? I wouldn't have thunk it! LOL There is no tellin how long this one has been there. Guess I shoulda asked, huh? I do think I have one or two that I will keep in pots in the green house so I can let em grow just to see how big they will get. :oP


We love you Princess Kathy!

Yes that is what I meant... with your GH you can just keep it growing. My first one grew to over 6ft and that was with me not knowing anything about them! This time I hope to really get a lot of blooms.

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Oh ok! :) He had some cuttings that had blooms, but they were just laying there looking dead! They were still alive enough to have some fragrance, though. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Brugs!!!! :oP


Hugs Princess Kathy

Is a Noid a type of Brugmansia or is that a nickname for something? The tree looks like a Brug, kinda to me, and it even looks like it has buds........... ???????

Noid means no identification and yup that's a brug tree :)

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

Yes, a HUGE Brug, and I didn't notice any buds on it. I WISH! :oP

Wow, for a minute I thought you were at a garden center near me in Maple Heights, Ohio! Theirs might be bigger, and had been pruned for the winter. I willtake a photo when I go by there later today.

who are all these people you love? remember, i've been gone 3 months,i'm behind on everything!

Saint James, MO(Zone 6b)

LOL Sally, it is a Princess game that some of us are doing and the Princess makes up new rules that we have to follow. Right now it is to where we have to tell a Lady in Waiting we love them, Like, I love Miss Cathy. And we also have to tell someone that is NOT playing that game that we love them-like I love digger9083. And we must always, in every post, address Princess Kathy, no matter what the rules are at the time. Oh yes, forgot we also have to do a smiley of some sort in each post right now, too. :oP

Will you ever Catch up Miss Sally?

The only brug that I saw in a nursery here in Spokane didn't look very healthy - not like the one pictured on this thread. I also saw another one in the botanical gardens at Manito Park. It really didn't look that healthy either. Perhaps those growers need to pay Dave's a visit?
