2026 / Stripping Brugmansias

 

I am down to the last one to be pulled andS

stripped but there is a huge problem!  Bees!!

While stripping one of the smaller B. Shorty's

Variegated, this was spotted.

A green branch with a normal bud and an

albino bud with one small leaf.   Strange things

due to what I am noting.   When I see a the branch

with Albino buds it's also albino.

This year we have had several albino buds, most 

of them have dropped off.  We have had albino

blooms in the past and seedpods.

On another plant this is the branch.

Good Morning!!

 Been busy getting all the collection 

inside for the winter months.  Besides

all the maple leaves from the north needs

to be picked up!  My yard debris is totally

full and all 4 of the garbage cans are the

same!  This time of year I have plenty to

recycle.  

But from the greenhouse the blooms

are starting to put on a show!!

Ya know where I'll be hanging out!

Hanging With My Friends!

 

2026 Time to Move The Collection Inside

 

All removed from the yard area, where they

spent their summer months.

Time to strip the leaves and get them ready for

their winter home.

Our two oldest Brugmansia.  One is 25 the other 

is 20, well worth saving!

Tucking them in for the winter months.

The view before adding the front top piece of 

plastic.  Triple layer of plastic due to El Nino!

As of tonight the last plants went in the Brug

House!   No room in the inn now.

I have the 3 large B. Shorty's Variegated to 

put in the greenhouse.  Still working on getting

the plants in for the winter months and put the

tarps on.

One more to go, got to remove my Mom plant

from the cement pot, then strip her before she

goes into the greenhouse.  The bees love her!

The black potted one is stripped and ready to go 

into the greenhouse but I have another to finish

stripping in the morning.  It's the smallest to go 

into the back of the greenhouse.

One has to love all the different variegations

that our variegate Canna throws off.

2026 More Morning Sunshine

 This was blooming 9/28/2026 morning!

One more to go!

9/25/2026---Yesterday's Storm

 After finding many of our plants laying

on the ground or knocked over onto other

plants.  We have decided it's time to close

the gardens for this season.  Our focus now

is to start putting the plants away for the 

next fall storm comes in.

We have removed our ad from CL and

will root cuttings for spring plant sale.

Only one left:

All were cut down to the soil yesterday.
