And now I will show a some of my crappy-looking brugs. I used to be really into brugs and I could show you spectacular pictures from a couple of years ago... but last summer's exceptionally hot, dry weather really took a toll on my enthusiasm. This year I have just let them be (no spraying or special pampering) and most are not doing very well. I do finally have a lot of buds on 'Pink Beauty' so if the bugs leave her alone I may have a nice display in a week or two.

Here's 'Miss Emily McKenzie' - a bit wilted and pale from the heat and the cucumber beetles have been nibbling.
