Post away Hotties!
She's about to... # 4
interesting that your leaves are so small... I havent had a bloom yet but my leaves are bigger then my hands... quite a nice plant.
It's a NOID variegated. Have 3 of this, one inground and the others potted. When any are in bloom, I bring it indoors to perfume the house!
Hottie sis Jaye; that has got to be Snowbank? My Sauvolens 'Variegata' when I first brought it home, the leaves were huge. Then perhaps, I didn't feed it enough? Its leaves now appear to be small like that. But mu 'Variegata' bloom were white, and the calyx were also variegated. :-) Nice flush there Jaye. It seem the variegated brugs is more compact, but yield abundant blooms. Congrats!
Here are some of my ....'She's about to....' buds.
Kimbob
#1 'Eternity' a charming, unusual cotton candy pink brug. Only 3 blooms on this small cutting.
It's so heartwarming to see these little 6 inch tall brugs bravely putting out buds that trail the ground.
Just got one bud on Wretched Mess and Lemon Twist that I know of.
Most varieties, they take some time to be bigger, more mature and yield more buds. Except the variegated kind. And yes, they're adorable when they're so small and yeild a full 'flush' of angels!!!
Lookie, lookie; here is my new addition to my collection, my second variegated brug. SnowBank next to my bit older 'Variegata'. Thanks to that special someone that surprised me with Snowbank. BTW, I'm going to fertilize all my babies this evening. :-)
Ok hotties, Pink beauty is in the car, waiting, but you know she is not looking pink to me, looks more yellow than anything else, see ya later guys, Clemen
Clemen, I've newly acquired Pink Beauty. She's rooting nicely, so let me see your pix when you get around to it. Have a safe trip.
#2 'Apricot Queen' ....she's about to....
Oooops; correction, wrong pix. This is actually 'Isabella'

This is 'Apricot Queen' the buds appear more slender, and the blooms are smaller than most other brug's.
Kimbob! We must be having the same time-table. I feed mine every Thursday..wanna help?
Have a good day Clemen.
I'm off to my second part of gardening chores. Oh what fun slathering yourself first with mosquito repellant, don on your hat, and hope the wind doesn't blow it away!
This is another bud of 'Halo Peach'
Sound likes a splendid idea, I'll help you with yours, then you can come and help me. Have a great day Jaye. Later hotties.
Kimbob
"AuntB must be on vacation, she got quiet."
I think she got the day off and was planning on working outside and getting chores done so she could play on Saturday.
It's blooming crazy around here!! Keep those pictures coming. I may have to bring my babies in and make them look at the pictures, so they know what to do.... :))) Or hang a little okra on them from the veggie garden to try to fool them...
Back outside for me. Peg
ROFL!!! Peg, do you think that would work. I have a few that haven't shown any buds...I do have eggplants.. (Grin)
ok guys, pink beauty made it safe, the buds are still hanging, she is to yelowwwwwwwwwww? rrrrrrrrrrrr, is it pink beauty! hi heavenscape, thanks for another new thread, hehe, we are too much! Clemen
clem glad you made it safe and sound. Yellow, huh? Now who's been jigging?? Your brugs may have started without ya.
Jaye, if you hang eggplants on them, they will think they are "Giant" whites... (snicker..) I do have baby okra that looks like a brug bud, and don't have brug buds that look like baby okra... I've got everything going backward here...
Jay & Kimbob, I'm third on the list for ya'll to come help fertilize. I'll expect you by dinner tomorrow. Cooking ribs.
Okay, shower time for this glistening lady before DH gets home. Weather is hot and humid and whew, I know it. Got quite a bit done today, but still a long list for what I want to do this vacation.
Talk to ya later. Peg
Hi hotties sis Peg and not Beck (hey just because it rhymn, lol). Ribs? You're on, I can come up with a killer recipe for BBQ ribs. lol.
Yike! It's hot here too, got alot more to do for the day is done.
GEEZE LAWEEEZE!!! You Hotties are BUSY! Got the day "off" and worked from home all morning...humpfh! Did finally get out there.... outside is looking better... I'm SO happy to read about all the budsNblooms we have occurring.. Melissa, WELCOME! DD is Melissa,so that will help me. LOL CLEMEN!!! I would choose either plant, they are BOTH healthy and gorgeous! And I have to say, your behavior is text book passion turned addiction... (taking it to your weekend house.... tsk, tsk, tsk... lol) I would, too! The Pink Beauty bloom will start out kind of yellow like it is now, as it unfurls it's pretty little twangers, it will be more white, then turn it's beautious pink. You will get Pink, if you're sure it's a Pink Beauty. I don't think I'm going to make it to PG, Joyce.. not sure yet. I WILL double check my blouse this weekend tho... (LOL) I wish I could have seen your face! Hope you're getting some stuff done. Beck/Becky you wanting a pipevine, cuttings or shall I try to root? Peggy, you plannin some RR in the pool?? With a book?? That's GREAT! MMmmmm ribs!
Okay, here's the DEAL. My son brings the mail to me. I have 2 (TWO) packages! Yippee! But I wasn't expecting ANY packages... I see they are from my HOTTIE sis's Peg & Clemen... I wonder, what is it??? Plants? Bulbs? Seeds? What? What?? Oh, the excitement was building....... Him and DD watching and waiting as I unwrap (of course, I'm milking it!) It's my MARBLES!!! You BOTH found MY marbles!!!! They were in NY and OK? ALL this time??? I may have left some in OK, but I've never been to New York!!! You Ladies'! Did you gang up on me, or was a case of brilliant minds thinking alike???? Thank You!!! It was so nice of you both...what a hoot!! I'm still LOL'ing about it! I'm planning another water feature, and they will proudly be displayed for all to see! I just love you little bruggers! I love ALL you Hotties! I'm so glad and proud the be one of us!
Certifiable!!!ha ha ha..what a hoot : )
Hello Sister Hotties, my babies are still doing well. I'm sure it is the wonderful grandmother that started them. Still curious about one of them. One is about 12" long and has roots but the lower leaves come way down within an inch of planting. Now wondering I should have cut it in have? Aunt B where are you now.
Ribs? Great minds think alike. Mine are almost done but will share. Dready, cloudy overcast, humid day here. Not very encouraging to do much of anything--especially with the lightning going around. No rain tho.

MMMMMMMMMMM, Looks good, I will bring the potato salad.
Linda Kay
and the Bailey's if you want! ^_^
Mmmm Yummo!! They look delicious Marion!!!! You could have made two cuttings..I had a long one that I had to keep cutting because of rot ..it rooted finally. Thanks for the new room Jaye : )
Okay bring the 'tater salad, I have the Baileys and we can talk about our baby brugs!!!
lolol! I love it AuntB!! did they send you a tool sharpener too?! tee hee!
okay, I have a newbie question.... how LONG do I have to wait for these tiny buds to bloom?! I want them NOW!! lol!
I'm headed off to our cabin for the 4th, but I get to plant seeds all over our hillside so I will have lots of pretties to look at next time I'm there! tee hee! DH will never know that I sprinkled those seeds!
Aunt B, I was pretty sure those were your marbles, mine have been gone a long time. So you lost marbles in New York and did not know it. OMG, that really is a bad case of lost marbles. Did you lose them anyplace else? Come on now, 'fess up...
Marion, my ribs are still marianating, or whatever. They will not see fire until tomorrow evening. But I would take a Bailey's right now. But we're still drinking the leftover beer I HAD to buy for this new rib recipe...as DH grumbles, "waste of good beer."
Got to go, Sisses, we have an evening planned in our yard, and it sounds good to me!
Lov ya, Peg
EVERYBODY LOOKKKKKKKK! Wish I knew the words to express my excitement. I got Versi Peach in the mail today. Just awesome, I'm so excited , wish you could see my new baby. It is beautiful and does not look like it was shut up in a box and then a envelope. Thank you dear friend/friends here. I do treasure YOU and the plant.
I'm a happy mama, I'm a happy mama, I'm a happpppppppppppp, if I could sing, I would.
Love and thank you.
I am going to have a "HAPPYGARDEN" Thank you dear friend.
Lordy.. there is sooo much excitement on here today...YAY!!! Everybody is getting blooms!!!
Evenin... Hottis Sis's!!!
TY Jaye for the new thread.. Dial up is sloooowww enough..
TY Peg... going to see if that will help on the ads.. I am a newbie dummy on the puter for sure.. OH if there are ribs involved.. and a pool.. count me in..lol
Bonnie.. am I asking for a cutting??? I don't know..LOL am I??????????
Audrey.. was it you asking about my BP?? It is white
Been in Beaumont all day.. Got the MRI and went to Best Buy.. was going to buy a desk top puter... They could NOT ring up the correct price.... I was blazing MAD.. sooo I walked out... waaaaaaa I wanted that puter!!!!
Beck, do yourself a favor and say yes to asking Bonnie for a cutting!
Bonnie and Joyce, THANK YOU!
Phew! Finally...worked outside most of the day, ran errands, shot off some fire works, and now I'm done... Faye, it sure will be HAPPy in your garden, already is! Congrats! Beck are you wanting the pipevine cutting? I've never chopped on them, but I'm not afraid. ;) Peg's evening sounds fun! Hey Peg, or Clem, DID you plan my marble reunion?? My 19yo DS is missing his little GF, she's at boot camp in S.C., so told him to stop moping and we "blew up some money"... Seemed to cheer him a little, he was telling ME to be careful! My how things change! Anjl, they won't let me have sharp objects, (fire and gun powder, sure, but not pointy things). LOL You have to wait a L O N G time for the teeny buds to be big and birth a bloom... maybe 3 to 4 weeks? Clem? Kim? And your seed plan sounds great! Marion, I'm sorry I didn't answer you about your cutting... I don't have ALL my marbles back! :) I try to keep at least 4 or 5 leaf nodes on a cutting (not scientific, just AuntB plant logic), But Kim got you fixed up... and those RIBS! Oh, how yummy they look! We're doing hotdogs tomorrow.. I'm bake some beans and an apple pie, make a salad, chips and call it a feast. And shrimp... they had bags of big ones, bogo at the grocer. We'll grill some and cocktail some... I love shrimp. Shrimp and Apple pie ala mode....Pretty glamorous, huh? It's all about easy this year. I'll be trying to get everything "completed" in the garden and potting up more plants. I'm determined to get some order this weekend. ALL Hotties' Have a fun safe holiday!

I hope you all have a wonderful day full of family, friends, food, fireworks and flowers!!
~melissa ;o)
Have a safe 4th of July everyone.
Hey.. Cordeledawg!!! Good to see you!!!..lol Welcome... these ol hotties haven't gotten warmed up yet... I know you are a nightowl like me...and I wouldn't be up now if my "sweeet" lil Pom didn't wake me up with her barking...hehe ..We want to know a lil about you ...
Poor.. Melissa..hehe lordy.. aren't you 2 hrs behind us?? Either you were up really late... or are a real "chicken lover"... you know .. up with the chickens???
Ty for the 4th of July greetings.. back at ya'll!!
Happy 4th everyone, be careful. I heard tonight is the most dangerous time to be on the road, even worse than New Years Eve, all the picnics and fireworks lead to lots of drinking.
Glad everyone likes the brug babies. I have a couple of extras if anyone still wants and needs one.
Beautiful day and I am out....Oh AuntB, you found your marbles, still short tho? LOL.....
