thank youo Betty!

wormsoup=caren

Caren,
Welcome to thr Brug Forum. I've added your name to the list. :-)

Hi Betty...my real name is Cindy...but Ive been called Sydney for years...as there were way to many of us in school with the name Cindy....so that's always been my nick name for years...either one is okay with me....thanks Betty

Just curious...how are you making out there with the storms etc...I don't know TX that well..and did you have any damage...and is everything okay there where you are?

Cindy, I've changed your "real" name from Sydney to Cindy and put Sydney in parentheses.

I live about 120 miles west of where the eye passed over Houston. Under normal circumstances, that is the dry side of a hurricane, especially this far from the eye, but this hurricane was so wide that the projected rainfall for us was 2" - 4" with 30 - 50 mph and gusts of up to 70 mph. A number of atmospheric conditions kept that from happening. We received hot drying wind earlier in the day and evening then nothing. My MIL in Houston, who lives in the west side of Houston, had a neighbor's massive Loblolly Pine fall on her house and puncture roof and ceiling and has extensive water damage in the kitchen, dining room and living room. Other trees littered the yard, driveway and street. My SIL's house weathered the storm, but has tree damage. Both are without power. No generator. No chairsaw. Both essential tools in hurricane prone areas.

well since i have a couple brugs now might as well add me .... that way you ll know who i am when i ask a bunch of annoying newbie questions lol .

Wanda, I've added you to the list. Welcome to the Brug Forum.

Hi my real name is Luzia. I started with Brugs this year and I am totally in love with them. But now I found another love. Plummeria lol. This is really my first year gardening after a 10 year break. I have been back in Texas almost 2 years now and the heat is something else to get used too.
Mike confinced me that this is a great place to be. So here I am and I am looking forward to meet all the great garden folks that I know they are here and Mike swears that it is so.

Luzia

Good morning. Can you add me please? My name is Annette. Thank you Betty ('',)

Add this nut to the list.
Lol, EricKnight = Eric Knight.

Luzia, Lori, Annette and Eric,
I'm sorry I was late in adding your names to the list. I just got back after spending a week back in California visiting my two sons and attending my younger son's wedding. I was having too much fun. LOL

Luzia, welcome back to Texas and to the Brug Forum. I think you will indeed find fri,endly gardeners here. Gardening in Texas can be a challenge. Even though I had been gardening for ages, I felt like a novice gardener when I started gardening here in Texas. Plumerias are my other great love, too.

Lori, welcome to the Brug Forum. When you have time, look at older threads. You'll find a wealth of great information in them. Searching the forum using keywords makes it easier to hunt for information. You'll also find that soon, one Brug is not enough and when that happens, you are hooked!

Annette, welcome to the Brug Forum. You'll find there are a great many Floridians here. I'm sure they'll be glad to share growing information.

Eric, welcome to the Brug Forum. I hope you'll share some of your hybridizing expertise with us. Many Brug DGers, including me, have asked questions about hybridizing Brugs that have gone unanswered. I want to add that I have 5 of your hybrids: Tequila Sunrise, Sunkissed, Gypsy Queen, Georgia Peach and Audrey Hepburn. The first three are still small cuttings that have yet to bloom. I've had Georgia Peach and Audrey Hepburn for a few years now. Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorites. It helps that I'm rather isolated, but she has been very healthy even when others get attacked by spidermites. She sent roots out the drain holes and in between the pavers while in the greenhouse the first year I had her so she has stayed in the greenhouse all year until early this summer when I ripped her out and planted her outside. I love the shape and form of her flowers. She sets pods easily and since she was in the greenhouse all year long, she bloomed almost year long. I have wondered who her parents are as they aren't included in the Brugmansia Register.

Betty thank you for the welcome and adding me to the list.
Sounds like you had a GREAT Week! All your kids married now? If I might ask.
If I ever get used to the heat. Then gardening will be ok lol.

Luzia

Just the younger one. The older one says he's too busy.

You'll never get used to the heat or at least not in the first 7 years. That's how long I've been here and I still can't stand the heat. My DH thinks I'm related to Dracula.

oh no do not rob me of my hope that it will be a better summer next year. MY DH would like you. He loves Dracula...the movie lol

When you fall in love, you can not help but move in and get it ALL. oh by the way, I am talking about Brugs now rofl
