These somehow survived the hurricanes, with a little TLC as in staking & repositioning in the ground.

Wow, they look beautiful.
I am so happy for you. They look wonderful
Your yard must smell like heaven!
Thanks everyone! Yes it smells wonderful as I have lots on each side of the yard that I haven't made pictures yet. The good part, I can really smell them now! Into day 8 without a cigarette!! GRRR! LOL!
Wow! Beautiful blooms.Zone envy here too.
Wonderful!!!! Hang in there.. Tough habit to beat, I know. I was a two pack a day habit.
Keep up the good work with the brugs and the "not smoking". I quit in October. Food tastes so good now...............all the time. LOL!
Beautiful blooms and photographs Melba.
Beautiful!! Good luck not smoking,I have not taken that giant step yet. Dixie
The brugs are beautiful and I am so happy to see that you are giving up those cigs.!Good for you!
Bonnie
They look wonderful!! I am also wishing you luck with the smoking. NOT an easy thing to do for sure!
What a crew you have going on there Melba. They're beautiful. The cutting that you gave me are doing great, (at the RU in Feb) They are about 20" but no signs of blooms...I getting very impatient.
Also, I see that you keep yours about 5' high. Is that all these grow or do you keep pinching them back?

PS. Great going on the cigs. I'm off the 2 1/2 pk now for almost 20 years. Never thought I would make it 20 days. But now there is such a feeling of freedom. Plus the greatest feeling is "I DID IT".......
Happy, did you plant them in the ground or in pots? You know they like to be fertilized twice a week, & the ones in pots watered more often. Maybe you will have blooms soon!
Mine are all in flush bloom now. Wish you could see & smell them! I will try to get more pictures soon.
Cigarettes had to go! Too many bronchial problems! Just hope I never smoke again. Still in Phase 1 of the patches, but I refuse to give up this time no matter how Stressed I get! LOL!
I quit, maybe 16 - 17 months ago, cold turkey. If I can do it you can too. Do I feel better?? Well, I wasn't sick before or after. Where I really feel the difference, is that I'm getting more done, my concentration is better, not always wondering where the cigs, lighter and ashtray were hiding, or having to get out in the rain, snow, what ever to buy the cigs, AND the cost really added up. Mainly I'm glad I did it to prove to myself that I could. Someone told me about a gum they thought was really good, I think the name is Commit, but not certain, I didn't try it.
Great going on your brugs too, I cannot wait to have blooms!!!!
No, noone told me about the fertilizer. I'm a newbie at all this. I have MG 15-30-15. OK? Oh, I put them in the ground.
