Geez! WHY do all the Brugs do their best in October??????

Sally! You are feeling the pain--I am sure.....

I have had three of my Brugs in full bloom also in October--but last week--with all the
close-to-freezing nights I had to "bite the bullet" and cut them all back to a "skeleton"....
It killed me to see all the cut-back branches--with full blooms on them--go into the recycle bin...

Here is my new, little "Maya"....the rooted cutting I got back from Cylburn Arboretum when I went there
for their "Market Day" in early Sumner....It was in an 8" pot and, barely, a foot tall....
What a trooper this one is!
BTW--I have many cuttings of this one--as I had to cut it back to a "skeleton" to bring it in--
as well as my other two Brugs....
More cuttings than I can deal with--SOOOO If any of you want some, for postage only,
please D-mail me.
I have: "Maya"--Dr. Seuss"--and the robust grower/bloomer--a NOID pink Brug.
