Hey there James : )
James! Hi, so glad you stopped in :) AnnMarie!!!! Hope you are feeling stronger.. WHAT GORGEOUS 1st blooms, such a flush on a small plant... Way to go brug mama! Congratulations..... lemon sugar cookies... mmmm. Was it worth ALL the wait?? lol Clemie, you must have had your girls when YOU were a baby! I agree with Becky, you pale the blooms beauty, with your own! Love that nanner leaf, too. Doe, you keep "encouraging" it, it'll work - right Anjl? (like your "new" dg name, too 1Anjl). Ladies, I'm off to KC to haul a couch and love seat for Drew he found on Craig's list... (he's SO independent now, lol) Borrowing the company truck in Topeka and picking up a new bed for him, too. I've 2 brugs blooming now, the PP brug and Versi... sure wish I could stay home today, thought I untied the apron strings AND ironed them out... lol Louise, hope you feel better and I do like the pic, handsome couple, indeed. Hi Peggy, Hi Beck, Hi EVERYONE! Sorry I didn't get back here last night on the drilled pot, Thanks for posting a link. Nadine, things will slow a bit, soon! (haha) -AuntB
Oh, that kind of "holey" pot. Be back later. Have to call the priest to cancel his visit, had a hard time convincing him these were "angel" trumpets. He said he would not bless the other ones. :))
Good moorning hotties.
Clem, you and your bloom are both beautiful, but we already knew that!! 1Anjl, what are you doing outside? What's your temp? That is beautiful and it likes like a flush to me. All right AM!! AuntB, I don't think those strings ever go away! At least mine have not.
Linda Kay, was that tattoo a "Brug hottie?"
Okay, my mind is tired and I am going everywhere this morning.
Beck, where are you? How's mom doing? James, do you have something new for us to drool over? You do have some beautiful specimens. Audrey, I know about threatening these brugs. It has not worked for me. They just ignore me and keep growing taller.
Louise, hope you are feeling better. We're missing some hotties here. Where are the rest of us?
Got to go water. They are promising a cool front next week, down into the mid 90s. Have a good weekend all! Peg
Mornin.. hotties.. what a nice surprise to wake up to....
anjl... WOW ... did I count right.. 9 blooms?? WOW... sooo pretty!!
Clemie... nooooooo not even buds... ahhhh what's a girl to do???..hehe
sooo good to see James.. how are you doing these days?? good to have a mentor back in the house!!
Audrey and Kim.. is that what you are supposed to do?? get "rough" with the girls??...LOL
Louise...LOLOLOLOLOL.. well at least will looks like he is having more fun.. "getting" into his character..lol
See ya.. girlies....
It always worked with mine! I'm thinking about topping one of mine like cotton so it'll bush out more! Then maybe it'll bloom!!
Hotties you are making me shy! LOL, have a nice day everyone! Clem
Good morning everyone! Yay I was able to get out of bed and go water this morning. Still junky though. Well my accidental decapitation of my baby brug did not make it Y . It just grew a new leader. I keep wondering about these guys. Four feet tall already for some. hard to believe they were seeds in march. If they keep on growin the way they are, it is gonna be hard to fit them into the van for the round up!
Good morning everyone. My tattoo is a cover up. It was a small black iron cross, because the tattoo shop I used to own was called the iron cross, and since I no longer own the shop, I had it covered up with a dark purple rose, and celtic cross.
Lavender and 1anjl, I hope your feeling better this morning. Stay cool and drink your fluids!!!
Have a great day.
Linda Kay
Peg, snickering over the holey pot priest blessing. Guess since I am catholic I find that particularly funny.
Linda Kay I was gonna ask for you to post a pic of your tatt until I got to thinking it might be in a place you don't want to show off in a public forum lol.
Hello hotties, I’ve had the kids here since yesterday afternoon and could not get to the pc. Had to read the past 24 hours this afternoon. Boy we do yap a lot on this thread.
Clem the blooms are fantastic and you look so pretty standing next to them.
Anjl - you must be a real proud momma, those blooms are beautiful.
AuntB, my DD’s are 32 and 31, whenever there is problem or they need something they still run to momma. The apron strings get longer, but I don’t think they can ever be severed. That’s okay, I get all the good stuff too, and they’re there for me whenever I need them.
Louise, loved the picture, now to get to the tropical island. Hope your feeling better by the time you read this.
Nadine, Still mailing burgs, and planting them, you must be burged out by now.
Audrey, Peg, and Becky, the blooms will come, you just have to believe. If you plant them, they will bloom. Seems out of reach for me this season but I keep hoping.
Audrey, as for getting them in the house, I got a problem there too. I’m looking at paying one of the kids next door to lift them in and out of the truck. Gotta drivem down back to the basement door.
Linda Kay, Purple rose tatt sounds real purty.
Peg, Real nice crop of Impatiens there, bet it looked like they were going to take over the Passies, but the vines will always win.
Becky, hope you had a great date, foods always good when someone else cooks.
I watered all morning, 6 till noon, 2 o’clock it start pouring and hasn’t let up yet. Forecast was “slight chance of showers tonight”. I’m off for groceries, and take outs for dinner. I’m good at buying food; just never get around to cooken it.
well, I didnt stay outside long enough to count them :o( so not sure how many are on there! but it seems the whole plant is covered in blooms! this was just a cutting that I bought about 6-8 weeks ago on the dg marketplace :o) I am sooo happy! and the scent! OMG now I know what you all mean! the scent seems stronger at night? which is the only time I can go out there right now :o( so cant see the blooms well, but I can sure smell them! lol!
All of my Brugs are in pots right now, and some need to be potted up. I am thinking it would be better to just transplant them into the beds in the front yard instead...then I can take cuttings and put some in back yard once my walkway is completed back there.
my question is.... can I plant brugs and iris in the same bed? had anyone done this ?
anjl.. I don't see why you couldn't plant anything you want with the brugs... and lucky you.. I bet you will have blooms all year long!! It doesn't freeze there does it? I am glad you are feeling better.. BUT.. you have to take it easy cause it will be EASY for you to have another heat stroke if you don't..
PEG.... AWWW... you naughty girl...LOL I am not catholic.. but I found it hilarious!! Momma is better.. They ordered the med you suggested..I forgot to tell you..hehe.. and she is doing better.. weak.. but better Ty for asking!
Donna.. yes we enjoyed it ty for asking.. we normally take our dogs everywhere we go.. they are our "children".. you know..hehe.. but since it was too hot if was just me and DH... Isn't that how it always works?? you water.. then it rains?? hmmm maybe I better get out there then..
Bonnie.. wtg on the free furniture!! Don't get too hot out there.. aw well.. if you did you've already done it.. The kids "try" to sever the apron strings.. BUT let a problem come up.. and who do they call?? MOMMA!!..LOL
Linda kay... ouch.. doesn't that hurt?? I am toooo old to get a tattoo!!..hehe
Louise.. glad you are feeling better!!..hmmm just where did you think that tattoo was at??LOL Maybe... since we haven't had a brug bloom guessing date.. we need a tattoo and where it's at guessing date?? LOL I guess upper arm!!
Hi everyone and congrats Anjl! They are beautiful.
Here is my tattoo...
And yes it HURT!
Linda Kay

Your tatoo is beautiful!!
Ouchie that must have hurt, came out really nice Linda Kay
Okay Becky, I’m in, I’m guessing lower back, very lower back.
the lower back hurts ALOT! lol!
I have two... a butterfly on the lower back....and well....another tatoo in another area ....lol!
butterfly is for my dad....long story, but all of us girls were going to get same tatoo. 2 of us took the plunge and did it....still waiting for other 2 to get up the courage! lol!
Well that lets my guess out since she could take a pic of it by herself lol. Or did she?? I have a lavender rose tattoo as well and I will NEVER get another tattoo, not ever. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced, cept for childbirth. I even kicked the poor guy! I swore in every language I knew. Tattoos are not for wimps like me!
Donnna my hubby and I were married in the bahamas on the beach, so we thought that was pretty funny. Would love to go to hawaii though!
Anjl, my DD has a butterfly on her lower back also, that’s what made me guess there. She also has a couple of others, all hidden, it’s a military thing. She can have um but they can’t show.
Ahh Becky, a wedding in the Bahamas sounds wonderful. My DD is trying for a Hawaii tour, but there hard to come by. If she gets stationed there I may seriously consider moving. I did get to Hawaii once, but that was my only tropical vacation.
Donna you are the winner
It is on my very lower back, I now have 13 of them!
Painfull is not the word. This one is by far the most painfull one, guess all that (baby fat) is just real tender. I have one on my left ankle, 2 on my right ankle, 3 on my left chest, one on each back shoulder, and one in the middle on my back neck, and I have one on each back left cheek, and this new one plus the one I just covered up...
Linda Kay
Linda Kay you are the woman! I do not know how anyone ever gets a second one! I guess I was born without any endorphins lol.
They are addicting, like angel trumpets, and this website!!! LOL
I was warned, but did not listen. The only thing I won't get a tatto of is my loved ones name.
That is a big NoNo.
Linda Kay
Wow, I guessed right. It just thought it would look really good there.
I am experiencing some pain here. No tattoo for me thank you. Some are really beautiful though. I have age spots, I guess that doesn't count.
Ouch ouchie, that tatoo looks painful but good for a hottie, lol, Clem
LK, my dd told me she used to have a tatoo of a mouse on her bottom, but her kitty ate it........
Should I pot my brugs up before bringing them in, or wait till next spring? They'll be heavier and harder to move if I repot, but if I should, I will!
AUDREY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............. hmmmmmmmmmmmm.................LOL!!!!!!
anjl.. I remember the story of your Dad.. Cheryl.. didn't.. BUT I don't blame her!!..lol
Linda Kay.. since I am going to get to meet you.. I want to see each one.. cept the private ones...hehe All I can say is you either were drunk out of your mine or stoned out of your mind BUT in any case ... you are out of your mind!!!..LOL.. rotf.... OUCH x a million!! It is soo beautiful.. girl..
I have to admit.. I have watched those tattoo shows on TLC... Lordy they are soooo "wierd" looking..... no offence ya'll... IF any of you look like them....lol BUT I have cried many times at the beautiful reasons they have it done.. and it amazes me at the beauty of them too!!
Clemie.. I figured you would have one too.. being a good looking hottie and all!!!
Hi cat... long time no see....
Beck, not me in a million years, way to painfull, I'll rather have a cocktail than a tatoo!!!lol, Audrey, i would have been your worse customer!, Now about you hottie beckie???? tatoo for you??? Clemen
Clemen, I am a tattoo artists worst customer. If ya kick em ya get a crooked rose! lol
lol! Cheryl WILL get the butterfly tattoo...someday :o) lol!
the ONLY reason I wound up with a second tatoo was.... I took other sis in to get her tatoo of butterfly, told her she couldnt wimp out...hers was much smaller than mine...etc.... kept razzing her the entire time she was getting 'scorched' as she put it...and well, she kinda dared me to get another one and ummmm.....
well lets just say its a tiny tatoo of a stick figure and a lil lawn mower :oD
I never was one to turn down a dare! lolol!
LOL anjl too funny!
Louise crooked rose, lol, Clemen
Aren't we crazy???
yep I have proof. My hubbie and I both have a lavender rose= love at first sight. I went first and kicked him and mine had a curl on the end of the stem. So he made his the same way so they matched lol That is how we got the lavender4ever. Most people just think I love lavender. lol
lolol! I wish I coulda kicked the artist...but he was a good friend :o)
also had alot of my friends there with me for the first tatoo...so I had to be a brave gal and grit my teeth and pretend it didnt hurt.
lets just say childbirth was less painful...but the tatoo was quicker! lol!
