Have been waiting for the first frost. Needless to say last night we got the first freeze of this year. I went out this morning to check every thing out and all my beautiful blooming brugs were froze stiff. At least I took cutting of the ones I wanted for next year, and dug up the ones I wanted to save. The only two I dug up were P & C and Maya. I just dug up Maya yesterday afternoon, and got some cuttings, and put her in the GH.
Now I have to wait for more sweet smelling flowers. When the brugs started blooming my husband didn't like them. Said it was unnatural for a flower to hang down toward the ground and not up toward the sky. But one night last week he was sitting on the front steps and the wind was out of the east, and he smelled something but didn't know what it was, then he yelled for me to come out and take a smell. He said do you suppose it is those flowers over by the sidewalk. I told him it was and then he didn't believe me so he got up and went over to take a smell. Now he really likes the flower. But still thinks it should grow up toward the sky. That night we had our bedroom windows opened and our bedroom smelled just like the brugs. It was simply wonderful.
The attached picture is the one that was putting out all the sweet smell.
