Gloria, here is a picture, though it isn't very clear, of what I was talking about on two of my brugs. Hope someone can come up with a diagnosis.

An afterthought.....the stuff on the brug stalks resembles a black mold or mildew, but permanent. Now that those two stalks have warmed in the house it is beginning to excrete a tiny bit of black juice. If you know what this is, will it infect other plants, is there a cure, etc.? My book won't get here until the end of Jan. Sure could use it right now. Also, the Chs. G. blooms were too far gone to try to pollinate. :-(
