We have had cold weather recently, so I've moved all my brugs inside. Some of the ones closer to blooming are in the living room, and the rest are scattered all around the house and basement.

Tonight when we left for the football game, my Dr. Suess was not blooming yet, but getting close. When we got home it was in full bloom and when we opened the door, DH said, "What is that smell?" They bloomed and smell wonderful! When my son got home he also wondered what *stunk*. (I need to educate my men-folk for a few more years). LOL

This is my second year with this plant and it had more buds until the wind broke off the second part of the Y. But I still have lots of blooms coming and it is so fragrant! The plant is over 5 foot tall, but I'd like to keep it going for another year before I have to reduce it to cuttings.

I'm excited and enjoying it lots. Makes all the year round babying worthwhile.

Just had to share this with someone that could understand.
