Brugmansia 2

Patience Marley, I too am still waiting.

 

4 of mine have germinated, Ha! Thanks again Walnut.

 

Some of last years cuttings in the foreground ,the tall one at the back is last years plant kept growing over winter it now has the odd flower the bud just opening up,on the right an October cutting off a plant called "joli" obtained from germany.


Some of this years seedlings amongst other stuff.

 

All looks nice and healthy walnut,

 

Err. Walnut, by the look of them I must pot mine on!!

 

Me too caj, there still small but have more leaves now, a job for tomorrow i think..Woohoo

 

Hi ydd. A couple of mine are about 18" tall. (In 3"pots!!) I'll leave mine 'til the end of the week having looked at Metcheck. I really want to put them in 14" pots but I have serious space problems

 

18" caj, mine are only about 6", there in a propagator in the spare room, they need more light, but not warm enough yet for the unheated greenhouse, tut, this winter has been sooo long. :(

 

Ydd. This Winter has definitely been toooo long. Snow, in Lymington, in April. Where's Global Warming when you need it? :D

 

This is a picture of the flower on the shot above now opened,the smell in the g/house in a morning and early evening is devine,

 

Walnut, Lidls are advertising Brugs, among others (Oleanders, Solanum, Dilpladenia) I might have a look, see if it's are worth getting a couple, these are the usual Dutch rooted cutting types so will be quite small. Due in on monday, if anyone else is interested. One of our gardeners brought in a B. Candida for me to look after through the winter, it put on a lot of new growth during Feb and March, enough for me to take three cuttings from it. They have now rooted and have been potted on so I might have a couple of decent plants next year. Might develop Brugmania!

 

Wow thats a big one Walnut!!! stunning!!

 

Strongy i'll guarantee you will get the bug when you see the types of cultivars out there they are very big on growing them in the states and europe we are many years behind,this year I have been experimenting with their hardiness and results are looking favourable I will publish the results shortly.
