| hello everyone,
I am an absolute newbie to Brugs. Actually, I'm a daylily hybridizer. My neighbor has a half hardy deep yellow brug, that grows to 6' every summer and lives in our zone 6/7 garden. I was able to get two hard wood cuttings from her this month. I read how to start them and have them in my greenhouse. Now, just hoping and waiting for beginners luck. I fell in love with this plant. I may just keep them in big pots, as I have little room for anything but my daylilies, but oh this brugmansia is so BEAUTIFUL! I never saw anything like it. There were dozens of blooms on this creature. Wish me luck Nina in PA |

| Be afraid, be very afraid. Nina you can't stop at just one, these things are addictive. Welcome to the club, I hope a 12 step program doesn't become necessary! :-P Diane |

| I'm new, too. I purchased a brug cutting last year about this time, planted it, then left it. (it's not so cold here) It bloomed a couple of weeks ago - gorgeous, gorgeous, big, exquisite blooms! It was well worth the wait. Even DH was impressed! So, good luck with your brug. You obviously have a green thumb and will be a good brug mama! :) |

| Welcome Holleygarden and Nina. I stumbled in here a few months ago, only had one brug, that didn't last long! It's a wonderful place filled with lovely pictures, good advice and caring folks. Buckle up! |
|
| Thanks for the welcome everyone. The cuttings are still leafing up nicely. Only the biggest leaves dropped. I'm watching for new growth. How long can that take normally? Nina |

| Welcome, you will get lots of great info and help here. I haven't decided which is more addictive, the brugs or the forum here. BTW, we don't mind discussing daylillies (or anything else) when brug season is slow. |
