    I think it's maybe due to the fact that I have been using tomato food, as I simply ran out of anything else - if I can get away from these 14-16 hour days then I might stand a chance of getting to the garden centre

    @Kristen the plant you gave me last year has produced blooms non stop for about a month now, it's filling the garden with fragrance :)

        Excelent! Well done. I see it hasn't got any shorter? :heehee:


        You'll like its flowers, them's Right Fancy - lives up to its name in fact :) Beware that the flowers go rather soggy if the rain gets on them (although that's probably fairly true for all Brugs)

          :)

          It could do with a prune to keep it in shape but I suppose I will have to wait till the end of the season.

          I suppose, come the end of the season, you'll have to prune it to get it into winter quarters!

              "Maya variegata".

              Shy flowering, but the foliage always looks good.

                        My Brug candida flowering now just as we are going away for 12 days!!!
                        It's too big to have in the conservatory (and windy) so we can't appreciate the aroma.

                          That's soo elegant, strongylodon! Don't you just wish you could bottle the perfume? Have a good holiday!
                          No need to book, joolz:) Apart from a quick coffee first thing in the morning, don't really get time to just sit and appreciate it! One day.....
