Brugs, some you win...

I have decided not to plant the brugs in the garden as we intend moving within the next year, but they don't seem very happy in pots.

However this one I planted out is less than a year old and has a bud (top centre).

Hey, how about pot in a pot method or even in a bucket with holes drilled in the side?? Are you feeding them and treating them for mites??

I'm treating them for mites, but the mites laugh and spit in my face.

The bud in the picture above is a month old on Sunday. It still hasn't opened but the petals are proud of the calyx so hopefully it will be open next week some time.

New buds are developing daily and later, probably when I'm on holiday in September they will be a smashing show.

It is a Frosty Pink cross.

I'd be spraying those mites away and stripping all the leaves off so you can see the bloomers!!

The unhappy ones are developing buds.
