clem, I told you nothing would ruin your anniversary!  Three new brugs?  Which ones??  (Tee Hee, like I would know, I'll have to look them up)     I'm so excited for you.. :) and your anniversary's not over til midnight...LOL you can have anniversaries every day.. I know.

I only lost one annual totally and I think that plant was just not supposed to be here.  Back in April, I found it a local nursery, a condryline (sp?).  .  A week later, my neighbor's brakes went out and she backed through my yard and crashed it, pot and all.  They paid to replace it.  So, I started all over again and had trouble finding the same plant.   That wind last night broke my second one at the ground.  I think someone is trying to tell me that I don't need this plant at all.  

So, now I need all my bruggies to help me think of a tall specimen plant to go in a 36" pot.  It's way too shaded for a brug.   This is the first planting April below...   I have elephant ears behind it and multi-colored caladiums in the bed next to it.

The rain was wonderful though, so if I lost one plant, especially that one.  Oh, well.  Peg
