The guys at the Firehouse lost a tree that shaded the windows to the kitchen/dining area,solution was Castors.
Firehouse Brug
A few extra plants for effect,that is Big Yella on the left.
I have not even seen mine bloom yet,but they are getting some blooms.

So this is the first chance I have had to see Big Yella.
Nice pictures. Are you still working with the screwdriver to make your camera work? LOL! I laugh everytime I think of you and that camera. Those guys, as well as the rest of the community, should be very happy that you have helped beautify the fire station grounds. Good job.
LOL,Yes and I;m getting pretty good at it,who needs buttons.
That looks nice Rooty!
It looks great! How nice of you to "spruce" the place up, and add a touch of the tropics.
Great job, Root!!!!
That looks great RootDr! What kind of castors are those? They sure are pretty. I only have green with red veins. I want some PURPLE!!!!
Root; You did a great job. The castors really fit in. It all looks Fabulous.
What I want to know root, did you plant all that? It looks lovely and really livens up the place.
Can't wait for my Big Yella to bloom; it has buds too
I don't take care of this bed,I only gave seeds and a cutting.
This is Lou,he is the gardener here,it give him something to do during the downtime.
He is pretty excited,he was showing me all the buds coming.This is his first night to work while Yella is blooming.
That is great that you got someone else interested! He looks very proud of his work...
Root, it looks great. It was nice of you to share with them.
Lookin' good! Love that big yella!
Way to go Root! It looks great!
LOL!! He is hooked,he is already talking about how he wants them to get tall next year,so they can be seen over the wall.
So you were the "carrier" of the brug bug, not the gardener...
Either way, fantastic job, Root!
Glad you are sharing this one Root! I have found that give Big Yella some age and the blooms get very billowy. Sometimes they get that luster to them and the skirts just puff way out and the color turns an intense color. For some reason, on the suckers I cut, it takes them awhile to put this kind of bloom out.
I just went out to take you a pic of Big Yella which is now so huge for its 6 suckers are now in a clump and up to about 12 feet tall, is deflated. All my brugs are! So I have to bid you all adieu go and start watering fast.
Let me look for one from my archives.
PS I just love that red castor!
Root, I think its just awesome! I am a retired volunteer FF/EMT-I. Wish someone had taken that kind of interest in us back in my days... You are such a nice guy!!!
Thanks Gretchen,I am just helpin out,they are all great guys and I have a good time when I am down there.
Kell,that is why I gave Lou big Yella,it is the Rootinest Growinest Brug I have seen!!
