Thanks for the inputs and the compliments. We are getting the tailend of a Cyclone today with lots of wind and rain...so the blooms will be devastated by tomorrow or the day after. It feels good to be back with you all - I was really burned out on Brugs. If they were all in one place it wouldn't be too bad, but they are distributed all over 12 acres!! I often fertilize them from the truck if DH is using the cart and tractor! I was also spending far FAR too much time on DG - and not getting my chores done....

P&C has a funny history. Meltn gave me a cutting and it did ZIP where I planted it. I thought it was ME so I gave the whole cutting to a friend who couldn't grow it. I found, when I dug up the plant that the roots from a gum tree nearby has strangled the poor thing...and I got a cutting back from my friend and what you see if what I have grown. It loves where it is! It does have partial shade in the p.m....sun in the a.m.

I hope the picture I just posted is the Versicolor Peach....can't tell as I was only trying to open the picture to see.
Here is the versicolor peach.

I recently gave all my 'extra' Frosty Pinks and Isabellas to two nursery friends who will sell them at the Open Market....Brugs are slowly being introduced into the gardens here (CarolBrugieSeed). In their place I planted some lovely cuttings from Kyle....Hopefully they will perform as well!!!! I kept a few of those Pinks...the Rosamonds and the Rothkirk, of course!!!

Sorry...not the VP - Anyone know how to take OFF a picture?
