Is this the place where I stand up and walk to the podium and say, "Hello, My Name is Susan (Buns) and I'm a Brug-A-Holic?" and you all say "Hi Susan (Buns)"?

And then I tell you my story. You know the story, the one we have all experienced in one form or another, the Brug-A-Holic story, the story about when you walked out one evening and got your first whiff of the wonderful odor in the evening air and said, omg, what's that and then you looked up and saw the blooms? Blooms? on that stick I stuck in the ground, no way!

Yes, I am afraid I have been bitten by the Brug-Bug and not sure I want to be cured. And yes, I must add to my confessions that I started with a yellow then a white then a double white was given to me, no, they didn't have names just colors so now I have the most wonderful fragrant yard and have to name them myself. Hello Old Yellow, little white and oh hi there to my Walking Pink. (He/she puts a branch down and starts a new plant just like my walking iris).

And is this the place I confess that I have been known to go to a nursery and ask if they have any brugmansias and they say, "huh, wat", then I repeat, Angel Trumpets and they say, "oh hon, come over here" and point to yet more poor unnamed orphaned children and I say, ack, no names, gather them up and take them home because they all belong here, right here in my yard. Then I get called the dreaded word...Oh you're a collector. Oh No, not A Collector! Has it come to this, have I become a Brug-Snob-Aholic?

I need help, I really do, so if I am at the right place can some or all of you adopt me and show me the way? Im not really sure which way I want to go, but I do know it includes more brugs.

So, walking up to the podium, head held low, fidgiting, kicking the dirt.....Hi everyone, my name is Susan (Buns) and I'm a Brug-A-Holic!
