Stone, your brug looks very healthy and happy!
As long as we get a little rain and mornings are fairly cool, the brugs are happy. It's when the temps reach 100° in the afternoons, and there's no rain, that things start to get buggy. That begins in mid-June here and runs until mid-October. They'll blooms for about another month. Then it's time to begin cutting the brugs back for winter. It's a love/hate relationship! I have lots of tropicals in my garden, none get spider mites other than the brugs. It doesn't help that we live on a limestone outcropping. We had to have the dirt trucked in so we could plant anything years ago. We constantly have to add compost, etc.
Gardening is fun, right?
