Thank you, James. That brug was a trade from joeswife (Debra) that arrived in April as a rooted cutting about 12" with one hand-sized set of leaves. It's now over 7ft. tall, has a second 2ft shoot, and has bloomed twice already! This one that Debra calls 'Monster White' has its second set of buds about to open, maybe tonight or tomorrow. It was an even smaller cutting in April, now 3ft. high and wide. I just love brugs.

My kids sent me a start of 'Charles Grimaldi' for Mother's Day, and it is doing fine, but has not bloomed yet. Not nearly as lusty as the other two I got as trades, despite the same care and attention. I'm sure they paid a lot for a tiny little start in a 3" pot, too - go figger.
