Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Who am I? I'm missing my name., 0 by doss

My goodness. Thanks Kell for helping me out. Clearly you're right. When I read that this one grows to 35 feet and saw that huge trunk - I was in shock. Luckily the one of the lady sitting under the potted one brought me back to life. :-) And it could be an Annie's Annuals plant - easily.

I have a friend that picked out tow white brugs for me and I asked her to exchange it for a peach one, thinking of the big-belled ones. She came back with these two. I love them. They are growing in a whole lot of shade between a building on the west and a large tree on the east and one more on the south. I was thinking of moving them - won't do that now. They've been in the ground about 3 years now and it's the first time that I've had real flowers.

This year they were quite anemic and yellow looking in the spring so I've been adding ironite to the 5-10-10 I feed my flowering plants. I don't know anything about them, but it does seem like they are heavy feeders given the results. I'm just blundering about here. They are also planted in a planting strip that is about 18 inches wide so I have to keep them headed back a lot. Looking at it in the photo below, it's still looking yellow in places.

Suggestions?

I could certainly try taking a cutting for you but I've never shipped a cutting or even taken one of a brug. Any more suggestions?

I'm always full of questions. Thanks.
