The Brug cutting offer has closed ...and shipped... not eveyone got every type.. and they were of varring sized ..and type of wood delivered.. this was largely in others hands..
So.. to help with the growing of these brugs... I'll try to identify and look at their growing.. first pictured here is Dark Rosella.. a brug that will grow giving repeated full flushes with three to four weeks in between

Gordon, 45 requests, lol, you have been quite busy these days!
GORDON!! ((huggs))im still on a natural high from opening up that box. thank you so much , the postage will be in the mail on mon ! im so exited as
Well.. to continue... this was a real hunk of wood as described.. the end was placed in a few inches of water.. this picture was taken after one day in water... already the white bumps have formed... and it could just about placed into apot.. once these white nubbins areformed... sodon't be disturbed by trying or seeing such a big hunk of wood..
i like the big ''stumps" , i havnt had a problem rooting any YET . the only one i had some trouble so far was a pink perfektion . it was big big and i thought it would root fast . it didnt like the orchid moss method . it was in there for like 2 weeks and didnt get a nubbie. it did get a little soft on the bottom that i cut away (which lead me to my next discovery ,i dont have any thing strong enough to cut big brugs lol ). i put it in a bubbler and in 2 days it was ready to go in the dirt .
Gordon, thank you so much for the cuttings! They arrived today! Like opening a Christmas present. The postage will be in the mail on Monday as well. I have a question and a request. I received two cuttings labeled Ollie with a question mark after them. Might be Ollie? Wouldn't it be better to call them a white NOID? Now for the request, do you have photos of the crosses you sent out? It's cruel to have us wait until they bloom before seeing what they look like. LOL. Thanks again for the cuttings.
Veronica
MMMM.. guess I lost the post.. here it is again.. Veronica.. sorry for the mislabeling.. it was to have read Ollie X ? [ I blame it on the help..] it was an open polenated Ollie bloom...likely with my TexasPink which was allways in flower right next to it... it has a whie flower..like Ollie.. and perhaps the great strength... of both parents....
Some of the crosses I sent out were seedlings this year...but didn't flower yet..some have flowered inside...many were gigantic plants...6 or 8 6' tall limbs.. and no flowers till they were so battered by the fall.. and i had to cut them back...one of the reasons I allowed so many to get them... I had such high hopes for some of these crosses.. and to throw away such hopeful wood was shameful... these unique crosses are sent out to get feed back on them.. many of the others had pictures posted as they flowered..
this is one of the crosses...Serendipity X Taylor Dawn..as seen flowering today inside..more photos will be included here..
Gordon, I too got my cuttings yesterday, and they are so healthy. Thanks for your generosity! Payment will go out Monday.
Thanks
LK

Gordonhawk-----I am the person from Starkville, Mississippi who asked you some questions previously. Unfortunately, I was ill when your offer of cuttings came--------so, I was too late. When will you be offering again?? Did your relatives in Tupelo get any? Perhaps they will have some to sell later.

Donna.. tell you're quite welcome... you should have come by for more... I'm still looking foward to a visit... when you get things squared away..
Sandi... thanks.. Do enjoy them..
Bev.. yes they are See Deese... someone left a few dozen in a bag on my planter down on the street.. they looked new but I'd not trust them to be OK ...I was having trouble getting myself down to read the little tags.. and find out who was who.. and I was neglecting some I'd really wanted to baby.. so Imade mig flashey signs for them.. and I like the way the light plays off them.. and now I can't miss who is who
B Chaos.. thanks... the fine assortment is gone.. but write me in aweek or two and we'll see if there's not some trunk wood still about..

Gordon, I got mine today, too, thank you! an unexpected pleasure, getting all those cuttings!
I too received mine today. Wow! What a pleasant suprise! I requested for one. And Gordon sent me an assortment of various named, unnamed cultivars! One with a diameter of 6.5"! Others small, but most had 'snubs' on them already. Into a jar of water with few drops of peroxide they went. Thanks Gordon, postage will be in the mail 1st thing in the morning.
Kim
Gordon It was in my dmail, I am paid with paypal along with paypal fee they charge you. Thanks so much
Gordon.. I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt's passing. Please be careful, and I know you will enjoy seeing your Momma again... guess this might mean you won't be going back to AL. in December then? Sure was looking forward to meeting you!
Gordon...So sorry to hear about your aunt. You must be such a nice guy, thinking of others at this time. Hope I get to meet you one day. Perhaps at one of Jeri's Louisiana swaps. If you ever decide to venture as far as Austin, please know you have a place to stay and visit. Sandi
Got my box today! What an abundance of treasures. Your generosity is so very appreciated. Put them in a ten gallon aquarium with a few inches of water and a bubble wand and you can bet I will be checking on these frequently. Only have had them an hour or two and been in there twice already. LOL
I am so sorry to hear the sad news regarding your aunt. Like Beck says, be careful on your journey. Is there anything that you need??
So sorry to hear of your loss Gordon. Best to your family.
Bev

Gordon, Sorry to hear about your Aunt. You & your family are in my prayers.
Thank you for the beautiful box you sent me. That canna rhizome was BIG. I'm going to share it with my sister Trish Ann & garden buddy Caren, both canna lovers like myself.
You must grow trees on your rooftop! All brug cuttings were 2 & 3 inches across!! Looking forward to growing your cuttings in Louisiana.
