11/12/2013

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! 

Come On Old Man Winter!!

I pushed myself today to complete all the outside fall chores and can gladly state the rain barrels are all
clean and ready to be filled with rain.  All I have left is to rake/vac or pick up leaves as they fall.  I have the
front yard edged and the patio furniture all put away.  The heaters are in place in both greenhouses so we can now coast.   Are you ready for Old Man Winter??

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.

11/12/2013 bloom, which we crossed with pollen from B. 'Wild Thing.'

We are sorry to report we have lost this Brugmansia.

9/30/2021

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. 

FaceBook

Also today I walked away from FaceBook, let's just say I'm not a FB type of person.  Social media, well leaves much to desire in my book.  All this sharing of information ??   For those of you that love your privacy I totally understand as in the past few years I was there I learned way to much and there just isn't enough room on one's head for all that information.   I deleted information on a daily based and it still wasn't enough.
I loved playing those games with family and friends but life was just getting in the way and I need to find a
difference way to relax.  Now with both greenhouses up and running I'll relax out there.  So goodbye FaceBook and you can reach me here or by email.  Those that have the cell can text me anytime, but remember my phone keeps my desk company more than my pocket! : )

Our Dad

What a difference a few days make.  On Monday 10/28/2013, our Dad passed away after a brief fight with lung cancer.   I do thank those family and friends whom keep popping in to visit him in his final days and for those of you that posted photos of him on FB.  My niece Stacey posted the last photo she took and it's the best we have see Dad look in months.  I dearly thank her for the photo she shared.  Keep him in your hearts until we see him again.  I know he is with brother Marc.  Rest in Peace Dad!

So sorry I have not been keeping this up, lots have been going on here and it's time to start keeping
the blog updated.

The big news is I have gotten DH on the same page, it's time to sell the house!  I have talked to a Realtor
and the next step is to start looking for a different place to live.  It all came to head when we found that
one of our neighbors hung their kill all day Monday in the front tree. The hunting gear is all over the front yard and who cares?  Then the other neighbor had a trailer of mill end dropped at the curb and did nothing with it.  Yes it's still laying where it was dropped, one opens the door in the morning to this view.

We have worked hard to make our property what it is today and look at our home as an investment.  Sorry others in the neighborhood don't share this idea.  It is time to find a new place!!
