Here is today's update:
I'll be....! The beauty is actually going to bloom on my B-day! Batoootiiiii! I'm way off on my prediction! LOL. Sorry Janlynn, if I were to win, Jame would have ship this one to you.
Kim
Looks like it may be AuntB!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kim! I think it will open fully tonight! I was going to have him send it to SCNewbie, if I won... but it'll already be unfurled (I'm not an expert, just a guesser)! It's so pretty, even all wadded up, little twangers reaching....... thx for the update, James!
Thanks Bonnie for the b-day's wishes. I'm tickled there will be a winner at any rate. lol. Congrats James for such early successful blooms in the spring! Now open, open, open. lol.
So long as it's before midnight. LOL
THINK COLD THOUGHTS, the 22nd would be a great day to bloom!!!!
Anne
It sure is fun to watch - even knowing it will NEVER make it til June. Maybe us June guessers could get first guesses on the next one..... ^_^
Genna
Arghhhhh I almost certainly have missed it by a day!!! Gee darn, I'll have to be happy with 20 + brugs instead of 21, lol.
Anne
hehe congrats to who ever gets it and happy birthday to Kim
Thanks imzadi. :-)
Ok, who can guess when is mine going to open? No prize on these, since this is my first of this cultivar that was rooted late last year.
Kim
Kim
The biggest one in probably a week would be my guess.
Anne
Darn, my day was yesterday. So close :(
Thanks, AA. Ok, anyone else? James, Joyce, Bonnie? (I don't mean to hijack your fun thread - James).
Kim
Lily I am guessing yours is gonna wait and pretty much open all at once.. they do that sometimes..
I still think Jame's plant is gonna take a day or two to open.. it's sure a fun thread!
Neah no offense but I could not begin to guess I am a terrible guesser so they say.............lol but just a couple more day for mine to be fully open I would say who knows......lol
James
oh, this thread is so much fun to watch! I love the daily pix... gives me an idea of what mine will do when it starts to bud :o)
I dont guess that bud will wait til June 12 huh?! drat! LOL!
thank you James, for letting us play!
AnjL
Hello Anjl,
You are so welcome thanks for playing it is as much fun for me as it is for all of you. I love to take my daily picture now that it is getting close. Just to watch it open it is truly amazing well for me it is I do not know about you guys I hope all of you are having fun even if your day has passed by already. Good luck to those who are left!!!!!!!
James
You know James you could inform the brug that the story about the early bird catching the worm was prob. a caterpillar that ate the brug, so it may want to slow down a bit, just a day anyway. lol

I dont' know about there but it was still 92 last night a midnight here in west texas.. it is 8:30 in the evening.. dusk and still 100 right now.. all my plants fried today. My baby brugs and cuttings wer in water and still have some fried leaves this evening.
I just came in from watering, I don't know which was drenched more, me or the plants. My potted brugs are suffering more than my ones in the ground, of course.
Anne
I watered my potted brugs 3 times today and they still looked thirsty.
well it was a nice 67* today... wish it could stay that way all year long! When people tell you all that CA in 72* all year... DONT Believe them! LOL!
Here is todays update:
What a cute little tease!
Kim : }
I can see whoever guessed the date correctly. Velvet Rose is gonna open tonight!!! I can hear Tom Jones singing "She's a lady♫♪♫...she's a lady, and the lady is MINE. Woooo, woooo, wooooh, she's mine!♫♪♫.
LOL all the way to the garden.
Kim
hmphh
Well, it does seem that I won't get this one. I'm ok with that, though . . . Becky sent me some seeds that I started yesterday, and after my dr appt this morning, I stopped off at Rainbow Gardens, and got a small 4-5" potted one. Tag says Orange Datura x candida.
There was a double-purple there . . . those flowers are HUGE!
Wow -a hundred degrees already..............geez, I am glad I don't live there! It will be here soon enough!
Genna
Charlene.... you guessed today didn't you?? WELL... I hope I hope!! LOL
Beck, I think it has a tiny chance of opening before the day is over, but I am thinking more that it will be tomorrow.
It is definitely within hours of a full open flower. Question is how many hours? Twelve hours might be too late for her to get a photo. So I think it is going to go to AuntAnne.
As my DH always says: close, but no cigar! LOL
Thanks for being in my corner. It has been an interesting thread.
Charlene
Syrumani, the double purple is a datura not a brugmansiia, and I would question the one you bought. There are no orange daturas, and so far no successful crosses of datura to brugmansia. Post a picture when you get a chance, someone will be able to tell you which you bought.
I have seen plants tagged orange datura before usually at Lowe's or WM; I think the person who tagged it just goofed. . . .
phughes; I've seen plumerias at boxes stores labelled "gingers" so there. lol.
Kim
It makes you wonder how some people keep their jobs doesn't it.
Patty
Either one.. you or Aunt Anne.. I am just happy someone is getting a beautiful brug!!
James... thanks again for all the excitement and fun you brought our way!
