Evening Brug Lovers!

Thanks for all your nice comments!

Back home to blue skies and warmer temps predicted for the next few days.......that tantrum I threw in the garden this morning sure brought good results! LOL

Kell - This goes from very light pale lemon yellow in the winter months to a nice yellow turning to the orangey gold in very hot weather. You can see that it is probably at its best in this cool weather we've been having. I'll take HOT and orangey gold any day!

Shelley - There are a lot of threads here on DG about this particular Brug and until last year sometime it was a 'Charles Grimaldi'.......then when some of the experts here examined the pictures as it grew up they decided it was 'Dr. Seuss'. I have several fairly large babies from this plant that are 4-7 feet tall and in non-gardening company I call them "yellow." :-)

Thank you Judy.....remember that it all happens just by "happenstance." I take credit for bringing the plants in, but Mother Nature and our wonderful climate (despite all the naughty things I've said about the lousey weather the last couple of months) deserve the lion's share of the credit.

None of my Brugs are very "exotic," but the ones I do have are all good performers and require little to no care, except for pruning harshly several times a season.

I have another yellow, unknown name.....pretty yellow with almost a pink blush to it. It came to me as 'Janet Reno' , but isn't. I still love it and it has BIG blooms and very long necks!!
