@papa Those are healthy looking brugs, for sure! Looks like you're hooked by the "brug bug" now. Thumbs up

I certainly am @Bubbles thanks to you. Do you have any others you would like to share? I can hardly wait for these to start blooming

I'll poke around in the backyard, but it's getting into the 97-100 degree range here, not sure if anything will survive the mail truck! Sighing!
Yours look great. Just watch for those pesky spider mites!

If I could only have one brug, I'd choose Eternity. It will bloom as long as you give it some fertilizer, or until the intense heat shuts it down for the summer. Looks great! Thumbs up It'll be a tree soon!

It is a beautiful healthy looking plant!! Love brugs. I live in the Florence area and mine are in the ground. I am thinking I may root a few this winter for pots. I would love to see earlier bloom. Do you grow Iochroma? I really want to try those and Logees has them on sale.

I had never heard of Lochroma until now and they look interesting.

@papa, it's Iochroma (with an i). I kept one going for a couple of years before it died. I traded for one last year, but it didn't live through the summer. I think it's too hot here now for them to be comfortable. You will probably have better luck. Thumbs up
