I will swapthe Brug--if you are sure. I cannot believe I ran out! I had so many!
I better check my dormant bigger ones and see if one of them may be a Dr. (not!)
Only have 4----so I would think I ID'd them all.

Maya is easy to tell apart. its leaves are variegated green and white.
The neat thing about the Maya is that when a bloom is about to open,
it starts yellow. Then changes to a milk-white--and finally to a pale apricot.
See my 2nd picture I posted above. It has all 3 colors on it.

Dr. S.'s leaves have serrated edges. Charles Grimaldi's (CG) are smooth.


Holly!

How would you like to have one of my B-I-G pink NOID Brugs?
It is out of "energy"--I think--in the shop. The leaves it had are all falling off.
The trunk is pretty massive with very strong side-branching. No wonder!
Will go take a picture.....

I had a "dead" trunk from the other Pink NOID--and it is now growing like gang-busters.
So--I do not need two pink NOID's.
I can cut it down somewhat, and root-prune it and pot it up for you in fresh soil.
I KNOW it will grow!!!! You will have an instant "tree"....... :o)

Besides--then there will be more cuttings.....teeee...heee.....God help me!!!!!!

Honestly--I am losing my sanity over all this! Have you all looked at my "Promised To" list?
It is a marathon!!!!! I have been working over all the promised plants for over a month now....
None of them are from seeds....ALL potted up and growing....

OK! Took pictures to show you all the state my 4 Brugs are in today!

1--The Maya Brug after I gave it a "haircut"....hence aall the new cuttings available.
2--My little Dr. Seuss. Remember--it also got "pruned" last fall. So--not much left.
3--My "from stumps to glory" pink NOID Brug. All root-pruned & re-potted and "GO" for the season.
4--The "other" pink NOID Brug still in the Shop. Holly--this is YOURS!
I will have to cut it back quite a bit--or it will never fit in my car. It will grow---like the other 'stumps" one.
Holly! Do you want this one????????? HUH??? HUH?????

5--Not about Brugs--but look how well my Wintersweet Shrub has re-grown after last year's
pruning it back by at least a third! And I thought it may have ruined it!
