Meant to say FB - all the cuttings I've taken ( about 6) have rooted quite easily...I hadn't realised they took so well from cuttings - I'll do more next year ;D

Just been out to shut the greenhouse and on the way I pass both potted brugs. The yellowy/orange one has 14 flower pods and the pink one has 10. I hope the warm,bright weather holds so that they can open properly  |

I hope so to Auricula, i have a lot of buds

Post by Ladygardener on Oct 5, 2010 10:12:45 GMT
Are they all a lot later than normal or do they usually flower into the autumn like this?

Post by farmersboy on Oct 5, 2010 15:46:33 GMT
Mine were late getting going LG,because of the very cold spring we had,but the yellow ones are later than the pink ones,that i lost last winter,they start flowering end June,or July

Post by Auricula on Oct 5, 2010 22:24:41 GMT
Mine were late too this year LG for the same reason.They do go on well into the autumn though - and mine sometimes don't lose their leaves in winter |

Well done Auricula,thats a brill display,ive only got about half a doz on mine yet,plenty of buds,but will they come out before the frosts

Post by Auricula on Oct 17, 2010 9:58:08 GMT
Thanks FB - I've got buds too, on this one and the other one. The temps should be ok here for another few weeks so I'm hopeful they all come out before I have to fleece the pot  |

Post by Auricula on Oct 24, 2010 14:57:45 GMT
FB.....or anyone else who knows My brugs are in large pots which will have to be left in situ. They should be ok, but I wondered if I should cut them back a bit before I cover them with fleece.If I don't, it will be very hard to get the fleece jacket over the widest bit of the branches up high.I don't really want to do it because I feel it gives them added protection and I can cut off the mushy bits in the spring.What would be best?? |

Post by farmersboy on Oct 24, 2010 15:12:17 GMT
I would leave them if poss Auricula,you may be letting the cold in through the cut

Good point 8-)Thanks FB......I'll stand on a stool to wrap them up ;D

Probably the last flower of the year,as they're now wrapped in fleece.  |

Auricula I don't know how I missed this thread and the update with your wonderful blooms on show. It's a great pic, you're looking well too.  Your garden looks so exotic. |

Thanks LG. The brugmansia in my front garden.....planted in the soil, is in full flower  It is supposed to be the hardiest one and the flowers are narrower. I'll try to remember to get a piccy. |
