Hi everyone, I have not posted for awhile been on the road alot this year. I thought I better report in so you all didn't forget about me lol.

My two Maya's are doing well, I potted one and planted one in the ground. The one in the ground has not been growing as fast as the one in the container only about a foot tall but looks good. The other one is about 2 1/2 ft tall but in bloom.

Here is a picture of the one in the container, not a good pic but never the less a bloom, it bloomed yesterday.

The weather here I think has caused some problems with the Brugs this season it is so up and down, One week temps in the high 90's with heat index of around 105 and then the next week a cooling spell sets in for the low 80's and very very very dry I do a rain dance every day with no
luck. Sometimes they have to be watered 3 times a day or they wilt something awful. The humidity
here will take your breath away.

They get fertilized once a week except for in the extreme heat.
