Thanks all. I still am in shock. So is my husband. I have cuttings all over the house now. LOL! It was just these have taken a full year of care to come to the point of blooming and then to be set so far back again. All these were from pollinations I had done so many months earlier. They are my babies! Well, until they bloom ugly that is! LOL

This is part of a huge community garden that you rent plots on. Up till this last week, huge corn rows hid my garden from view of the main road that goes by. Now you can see them from the road. All the other gardens are now about empty for they were growing summer veggies. They are all doing clean up now.

I have offered all the brugs I do not want to the other gardeners and offered to root them a piece of the ones I am keeping if they fancy one of those so I do not think it is any of them.

Unfortunately, the police here have more to worry about! This is in a densely packed urban city. The guy who rents out the plots actually came by the garden the night I found it. He was so shocked also for they have had so few problems.

Anyway, though they broke the very top off my best brug so far, they left it alone. I think they did not see the flower for it was hidden low between 3 trunks, in the crotch and covered in part by leaves. Needless to say, it is no longer there! LOL
