Three. No, Thirty-four.

34 brug blooms are open this morning throughout the yard. The Ecuador whites have put on a stunning display. Last night the whole house smelled of brugs and daturas. I wish now that I had planted them where they could be enjoyed on a more personal level. Next year, of course.

The orange brug in the perennial bed has 3 blooms. One other has one. No yellow brugs have bloomed yet. Not even sure where that one is now.



Along the back of the house, there are 4 Ecuador White. The smallest one has a couple of blooms. The photo came out blurry and I'm too lazy to take another.











In the perennial bed, the Heavenly Blue morning glory on the arbor is finally blooming. Still no blooms on the chimney trellis.



Today's high, 95. 30% chance of rain/storms this evening. Clear, sunny, and 72 this morning. Humidity is already climbing.

Beautiful plants! Gorgeous blooms. And I do love your little brick house. :-)

Thanks Nancy. It's my first year growing them. I had nearly given up on them blooming, then they put on a show like this. And all along the back of the house too, where no one can see them.

Tom - your morning glory is very pretty (I'm not sure I've ever seen a real one, just pictures) and I am fascinated by your spectacular brugmansias. From what I've read, I don't think they would do well in Phoenix so I'll have to admire them from afar! Awesome, simply awesome!

I'll show you in the morning Cat. I want to take some cuttings of things in the yard, and I'll do one of the passionvines I have.
