Record heat started to hit south florida in May where we had 16 days of temps in the 90's. June has also been a continuous string of 90 degree days. With temps like this it's very hard for brugs to keep any buds that they set. I see a fiesta of bud dropping every day but it's what i expect this time of year. Then I look at Miss Emily Mckenzie and I'm totally in awe, She doesn't drop buds at all in hot weather. In fact she flushes as well in the heat as she does during the cooler weather. Here her blooms are a bit weather beaten because of recent rain storms but she is still holding up well considering. I even have a small cutting that has a bloom coming in that's bigger than the entire plant.
This is definitely a brug for those of you growing brugs in the hotter zones of the U.S.
