I received seeds, naturally pollinated, from JT Sessions, which resulted in my first, home grown, seedling, which we call Little Miss Nobody. I have 40 something brugs and this one is the most hardy, all round plant I have. Any holes you see in her leaves, were NOT caused by bugs, but by falling limbs, sticks, acorns, rain, high wind and hail, all this week. Most of my other brugs dropped buds and insects attacked the plants, but not this one and she doesn't wilt when it's hot, she was grown in full sun, in a tomato box, with three other seedlings, her only fert being what was left over in the box, she has big, fat buds, lovely blossoms that smell like heaven. The limb that fell on her skinned her trunk, and shreaded some of her leaves, and she has a few hail holes, but my other brugs did not hold up nearly as well. My only regret is that I started her so late, that it's too late, I guess, to put her in the ground, but I really would like to take a cutting and put her in the ground, and if I get up enough courage, I might do it. BTW, she looks snow white but is really a very pale yellow. I cannot believe that I grew her, I'm very excited...
