That is amazing on your brugs going without water for so long and looking so good, but I'd heard that they thrive on neglect. I'm not that experienced with them, so I wouldn't know. I do know that my established clumps of DL's have gone without water for a long time this summer and in previous years and they still look great. They store a lot of water in those fat 'roots' of theirs. I say 'roots' in quotation marks, cause the fat part is not the root, but a water/nutrient storage device. I don't know what they're called, to be perfectly honest with you. You'd think I'd know everything about them, but there are a few things I don't know.

Here's a link to my DL pics from yesterday in the DL forums. Just scroll down to about the 19th post and go from there. I was up late posting and doing other things last night.
