I spent a morning in the Brug House doing some clean up.  Need to spend a full day this weekend to strip off
leaves as they are really starting to grow.  I was greeted by B. 'Wild Thing' in full bloom and the fragrance forced me out after just a half hour of work.  I did get to cross a few of her blooms.

She is just so breath taking!!

I have also been watching a couple seedpods on B. Shorty's Variegated and I know these maybe albinos but one just has to play.  I also have one from B. 'Karma' that was done in early spring.

For those of you wondering about my Ludger Project plants, we didn't push these the first year as we

want the best plants we can get so we allowed them to grow naturally the first year.

As you can see they are all happy campers, will bump up into gallon pots in the spring.

Last we have a new sport on the TNN's Reverse Variegated stump  after we removed all the grow from this year!!  When I get time I have some information on what this plant did this past season to share.  I can report that the cutting we took is starting to send off new leaves! 

JT Session's

A few years ago I got seeds from JT and I just don't push the plants as I have in the past.  This one was allowed to grow naturally.  Each year she didn't bloom so I would hope for the next year.  On Monday this is what I found when I opened the brug house!  WOW!!  She is breath taking, thank you.

For those of you with the old ABADS color chart she is #255,122,122 for the deepest shade and 255, 168, 168 for the lightest shade.  The bloom is 10 inches with tendrils measuring 2 and 1/2 inches.There is a fragrance but it's one I can't define.  Pollen is going to be saved.  The only pollen I have available is Shorty's variegated so we hybridized this one.

We are sorry to report we have lost this Brugmansia.

When I opened the Brug House today I notice the

white brug in the back corner had changed colors

I can report this one is the above cross.

The tendrils are 3 inches!!  Stigma that was found

was split when I removed the anthers.  This was a

first seeing this on any of the brugmansias.  It is my

understanding the B. Culebra has to stigma.
