Well, I did the deed. It just killed me to cut Maya and the Dr. Suess -- both were loaded with blooms. But several branched got whacked last night and I know tonight is worse so I went ahead and got them. The photo is of the one branch I brought in last night. Tonight I brought in a couple more as I've promised them to someone so she really got whacked. I left one long branch for Mother Nature to have. You only see a few things in the photo as another section of the garage is filled with more bananas, plumies, angel trumpets, etc. etc.

Since I brought in cuttings of Mountain Magic last night, I detect from the blooms a little bit of a scent that smells like bug spray -- like termite spray. Anyone ever experienced that??

Well.......... here's to Spring coming early (lifting glass of wine).
