good her starts looked I took mine out and the weather has been great Boy what a difference it made.. I'm soooooo thrilled For many of you this part is no big deal but to me reallllllly wanting to be successful in Brugs this is like WahoooooPhotobucket - Video and Image Hosting for me

Diane, they look wonderful - you go, girl!!!!! It is exciting to watch them sprout, leaf out and become a full fledged plant. You will really enjoy them next spring and summer.

Diane, your cuttings are doing great. I know how excited you are because we've all been there. Some sooner and longer than others...LOL. Just remember that this is only the beginning of a very addictive hobby. Glad to have your company.

Diane this is was my second yr to have brugs and I still get excited when I see roots and new leaves.

You did good, do you need more cutting? If so lmk maybe I will have something you don't already have.

Cuttings almost always bloom the first year. I can generally get at least three flushes in Iowa and sometimes more. Seedlings are a different story. Most will flush once, some two or three times and some won't make bloom at all, even if they are started on the same day.

Your baby burgs look happy

Diana, your baby brugs look happy, I also can't wait to see them grow and bloom. Do you name your plants? That may sound silly but I name mine after the person I got the seed or cutting from. They become members of my household. Cj
