Just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm sure I'll be revisiting everyones photos through out the winter to keep me cheered up. I don't like winter very much.

I will definitely be re-visiting this come the dark, dreary days of winter. These will lift my spirits like nothing else, Shirley. Thanks so much for photos of such absolutely gorgeous brugs. I keep telling mine that this is what they are supposed to look like. AND, of course, this is not helping me with my promise of "no new brugs" --- you really make that hard!!!
Thanks ladies....you know it is my position in life to keep you addicted to brugs for many years to come. LOL! Out of the nearly 500 cuttings I sent out last year on this forum and others, I do know many of you are having good luck with them. I hope my health will be good enough to bring some new ones into your lives next year. I didn't really have many new ones that had gone through trial this year. Next year, there should be a couple. LOL!
Thank you for such wonderful pictures, I went back to the beginning again so I could enjoy them all. I the tendrils on Northern Peaks. I'd love to be your mail carrier, I would have my lunch in the truck next to your yard. I'm sure it smells wonderful.
Sally, you would be so disappointed. My mailbox is about 250 ft. (I don't perceive distance well) from my front door and all of my brugs are in the back yard behind the house. Living on a busy highway doesn't make it much fun to be in the front of the house, so we basically exist in the back yard during the summer months.
A peek at the back yard before it became really overgrown.
Shirley, I would be so content in your backyard gazing, sniffing and snapping pictures to preserve the memories. What a lovely setting and so many interesting plants. Keep the photos coming because it gets better all the time.
Thanks Jarie, but it wasn't the best year for pictures. I was pretty depressed to only have about a flush and a half of brug blooms. The winds wrecked what the heat didn't. LOL!
You can look at my pictures here http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e174/ChSam/ until I load more from my computer. Most of you have already seen them and let's keep them between the members here. Thanks.
My mailbox is 1.1 miles down the road.I need to buy one of them large boxes.My mailman runs on time,but his sub can vary by running an hour later than him to 4 hours and a few times later than that running after 6 pm.SIL checks the mail on those days...as it might need checked multiple times.
Thanks, Joy. I'm definitely a shutter-bug and love doing it.
Shirley, I think we benefit from several months of cooler weather in south Texas that allows our brugs some time to "shine"...whereas you go pretty much from hot to cold in a matter of a few weeks so you don't have much of a chance for nice Fall flushes. Mine are finishing up now but if the weather stays nice, we should have another nice flush in about a month-6 weeks and of course,
CG almost always showers with blooms in Jan or Feb.
Oh, Shirley, your photos were just great to look at, since all my big brugs are in the basement now. Only my CG (inside) is blooming. I absolutely loved the Rubrosa color and the Luminosa cross. BEAUTIFUL! Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
It may have been a disappointing year for you in your estimation but to us it looks wonderful Shirley. I am glad to see some yellows on your ( and our) horizon.
Thanks you all. I don't know of any other flower that gives me as much enjoyment as brugs do. Hibiscus are close, but when brugs flush....there is no mistaking who the queens in the yard/garden are.
