And here is lovely sight. A standard bougie Rosea that I love so much. I had repotted it last year from a 5 gallon it had been in for 2 years to a 15 gallon.

Then decided this year to put it in a bright blue ceramic pot. My DH helped me get it out of its old pot. Well half the root ball broke off for it had not gotten potbound. Right there I had a breakdown. It was fully budded and I thought I had lost it. I had learned years ago that if you disturb a bougie's root system, it dies. Well it did not skip a beat. Thank goodness. And it is in happy bloom.
