Brugmansia 2

mixing threads I think somewhere here, but Martin made me some copper rings out of insulation wire stripped, and then on the advice of.......ur can't remember but it was good, made me some rings out of copper pipe cut and flattened, have to say though that the ******** still got at my asarums!

now then other thing is (whilst the cats away - make sure you make damned good use of his visa!) so I bought an iochroma from ebay allong with loads of other stuff including a new camera on the recomendation of MF - hope it all arrives before he comes back then he will never notice!

 

Waco, t'other half suggested this so I shall shortly go root around in the shed to find the insulated wire and start stripping! :D :D

 

Hi LoL, after you've finished stripping, try looking for the copper wire!

 

Will do, cajary! Found the wire and stripped!

It's pretty warm at the mo, 22.2 at 10am but we don't go above 24. No one believes me, dry heat is differeent and it's a different kind of heat, believe me! :D :D

 

Must be the happiest copper wire in the world!

 

:D :D :D

 

Just a couple of pictures of the brugs cousin Iochromas

Iochroma grandiflora


Iochroma cyanea

 

I've never seen these, walnut, they are beautiful. Green and purple together are one of my favourite combinations. Any chance of seeds / cuttings?

 

just imagine how good they would look with a dash of orange woven into them - ipomea mina lobata or what about some of your exotic honeysuckle LoL???

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmm orange/pink ones, Waco?

 

don't know as they have not flowered yet, but I hatched loads of them.

 

A few could wing their way to me, darling!

Then I'd be able to look after them whilst you guys are sailing in the Med ... and maybe winging your way toward us .... :D :D

 

Lol I will give it a go they are supposed to be difficult from cuttings but if anyone can I can.

 

You are a dear, walnut.

 

Hi, walnut. My oldest Brug(3yrs) hasd just started to show some flower buds. :( the new ones in pots look quite happy but the one in the ground is sulking, I think. Be interesting to see how they go.
