Shirley, I love Halloween too. It is one of my favorite holidays - and costumes around here are NOT optional. Everyone I know dresses up and we have a big party. (Who says Halloween is just for children?).
By the way, that IS a ghostly looking brug - poor thing.
Halloween has always been tops on my list for holidays. No presure of gifts or family just pure fun with the kids. My kiddies have outgrown trick or treating. My youngest (13) and I do spend lots of time eating popcorn and watching halloween movies and break out my goosebumps collection on VHS.
That is one ghostly tree. Pumpkin is perfect for the occasion. Oranges are really taking over for me at the moment.
I've just been looking at some of Bren's seedling pictures through a search and she has some wonderful orange brugs. I'd love any one of them. It would be hard to pick which one to name first.
I have only purchased 2 brugs all season and have been such a good girl. I haven't asked for many cuttings so the grow lights aren't to cluttered like last year when I was rebuilding my collection. I want to purchase one more brug this season before winter sets in but I can't decide which. I hat these decisions.
By the way, just wanted to mention... I would really not recommend setting up a plastic cauldron with water and dry ice, and putting the lights around it like I did there... it was part of my decorations for Halloween 2004, and looked great for the first 5 minutes. (The Brug flowers were just added in with a photo editing program.) The hour that followed the first 5 minutes were not so great. The smoke kept going away as the dry ice melted, so I had to keep adding more, water was splashing every where... and for some reason, I completely flaked, ditzed, "dee dee dee'd" on the concept of water + electricity, until I realized that what I was feeling was a bit of an electrical shock. Almost gave the trick or treater's a real show, lol!
