This is the first time for it to bloom. Several brugs are about to bloom or blooming.

I wish they would wait a few weeks because I have a bunch of people coming over for a plant swap the middle of October.
Isn't it always the way...

Carol

Carol, so many of my brugs has suffered thur the heat this summer and now they have stared to y and put on buds.
I know I won't get to see a lot of them bloom this yr. I plan to try and cover them for the first few frosts and see if I can maybe see some of them bloom.

All summer long I only had 3 or 4 flowers, now I have painted lady with about 5 flowers and lots of buds, axle rose, velvet rose , miss caylie and a bunch of others that are fixing on blooming this week... not getting any bud drop like I was last month.I have been busy all day making flower covers so I can play like a bee.lol have lots of pollen in the freeze to play with.
The covers are made of net and you are able to still enjoy the blooms without the bees getting to them.

I'll try and post some pictures. The prettiest one blooming right now is my Shredded White.

Isn't this the most fun. After this horrid drought, I really needed this.

Carrie, I forgot to say, yes I was talking about the BIG Fall Plant Swap!!!

Carol, hope you have a lot of blooms for your plant swap.


Elva, you go girl make some great crosses for us.

Carol, I like those Daturas! Is that yellow with purple on the tips? And the white with just the little bit of purple is very nice.
Mountain Treasure is looking good, I didn't realize it was so light compared to MM.

Elva, I'm really impressed. I would love to be able to make my own Brug creation.
Bet you feel like Dr. Frankenstein!! BWHAAAAAA

Lynne, it is yellow with purple trim. The funny thing is that all the Datura came from last years seeds and they were deep purple with white trim last year. This year they're several colors from the same seeds.

What's up with that?

Carrie, I'll check out my pictures and see what I did wrong.

Carol, sounds like you had some busy little bees (and moths) doing a bunch of cross-pollinating with your Daturas last year, lol.

Your Datura picture is exquisite!

Thanks Ruth Ann.

Lynne, I must have some talented bees and moths and never knew it.

They are always covered in bees. Isn't this exciting. My little critters made some pretty Daturas for me. I just wonder if they'll be this color when I plant the seeds.

Didn't you mean to say when WE plant the seeds, Carol Ann?

Where are the pictures? I went to the gallery but the only Carol I saw posted pictures back in December, I didn't see anything recent. Those Datura sound wonderful!

I made a mistake and posted them on individual galleries and have to re-post them all to one gallery.

I'll get it right one day. lol
