I have been waiting 2 weeks for those peeking out skirts to open. One opened late last night about 1am. I smelled it when I went to take the dog out and had to investigate, lol. The other opened just a little while ago. It was still closed at dark. There are quite a few more large buds with skirts out. I am hoping to see several open at once. The most I have seen at the same time is 2 so far. Here we go. If the first try doesn't work on the pics bear with me and I'll edit it.
A few more of the one from last night how it looked this morning before opening all the way. The last one is a baby CG that Jarie gave me. It made 3 flower buds but the smallest ones aborted. The large one looked hollow so I picked it off since its kind of pale looking still.

Thanks Shirly. I've only had it for a few months and it grew a lot from the little stub I bought. I'm sure it will bloom more at a time next year. I'm not cutting it back.
Thats lovely Kristy.I hope you like Pink brugs I've got 6 brugs in bloom right now and it did smell good in the garden last night.I've been stripping leaves to my compost pile....makes the veiwing better too besides enriching the compost.
I hope your box arrives today. I think we might need to bring back the pony express or hijack the one that sharon used
I got it today finally. I think he had to beat his horse to make him climb the driveway, lol. I found out our regular mail lady has been out the last couple of days. She always brings my boxes straight to me. I told that guy if I get anything over the weekend that doesn't get delivered it better be sitting in a/c somewhere, lol. I do love pink, and orange and white and peach and everything else, lol. Thanks for the seeds also that was a great surprise. I have to look up one I had never heard of the alamo vine. Thanks again.
I have 5 and 1/2 open now. Its so pretty and smells so good. I will post some more pics later on. I want to give the last one time to fully open. Its has more smaller buds too but I don't think it will stay warm long enough for those to open.
John, a "noid" means "no ID" -- in other words, we do not know the exact cultivar of this particular plant. This is done in order for plants not to get passed on as "looks like a ?, so it must be a ?". There is no way to positively ID a brug without a dna test --- so why bother, it is just as beautiful without a name, and it keeps integrity in the propagating end of these. People who work so hard and spend so much of their time developing a new variety deserve the respect of us who just grow them for their beauty. I love my noids just as much as my named ones.
