Lee,
Doris straightened you right up, didn't she?!?
Starting Standard (Topiary) Brugs
Just couldn't see him laying down on the job, too much work to be done.
Doris
LOL, Doris!
You've got that right, Doris! With all our rain, the weeds are taking over and I still have iris and daylilies to divide. No laying around for me!
Just got home and checked my brugs...only have 3 that survived my absence. Changed the water... ((it was rotten!! hubby forgot to check and freshen the water)).
I'm gonna go ahead and pot up the survivors this weekend..any helpful info. would be great!!!
Here is an updated photo of one of the standards I started last winter. It's finally blooming!
the brug is beautiful...but I LOVE the pot!!!
You have a wonderful display again this year!
Here's the latest - this one has really put out a lot of blooms. The fragrance in the evening is overwhelming!
Beautiful!

How do you move them in the winter,do you actualy put the whole plant in the warm or do you just take cuttings. I only have one big tall one and she has dropped all her buds but two, and they were the two I showed that were unusual, I was so anxiouse to see the flowers it is Golden Lady X Hawwian Double White I may just take cuttings of her this year.

Hi Doris!
I just take cuttings in the fall and start over. I don't have the room indoors for the enormous plants. One exception will be this plant - if I can, I'll bring it in (and cut it back), since it grows fairly slow. I'll put it in a large plastic pot so it's not quite so heavy.
Of course, the two plants you sent me (and the cuttings) will fit nicely in my basement 'garden' for the winter.

That's good I wouldn't want you to put your back out for the winter *S*
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me... I have a beautiful brug, but have no name for it.
My plant is over 10 ft tall... blooms galore
the tree is always covered with big blooms like these
are all Brugs this big?? If anyone has any idea the name of this. . i'd really really like to know.
((and I have a few small rooted cuttings for anyone who'd care for one.
))
This is gorgeous! I don't know the variety name - is it fragrant? I'd like a cutting if you still have one available - I'll send a D-mail with my address.
Dirtygirl,
It is impossible to ID a Brug using only photos. There are many look alikes under several names and that look like your Brug. If your Brug didn't come with a name it is better she remains unknown. If you have to have a name for her, you can call her a NOID (No ID). Giving her a cultivar name risks mis-identihying her and adding to the confusion. Enjoy her beauty and for what she is — an un-named Brug, a NOID.
Oh, I do enjoy the Brug... it gets taller and taller every year... I bought it about 3 years ago as a lil short dumpy thing that looked like it was 24 hours from being in the dumpster at Lowes ((got it dirt cheap... as close to free as you can get)). so if anyone knows the types that Lowes might carry, we can go from there *LOL*
I believe Lowe's just uses color names — Pink Brugmansia, Yellow Brugmansia, etc. So you have a Pink NOID. LOL
