I have not posted pics in awhile, and photobucket has changed format on me...... had several pics to share, but this is the only one that came up. I will work on this and hopefully, post more later.
This is Isabella/Golfito back in August. |

| So beautiful! I haven't grown Angel's trumpets for awhile because they wilted no matter if I watered them twice a day, whether in a big pot or in the ground. Is that something you just get used to, and they rebound during the night? Yes, I noticed that photobucket doesn't have the old uploader available anymore. It just loads one at a time unless I use the 'new' bulk uploader. It works nicely though. You get to see the pictures as you select them like they used to do. So keep working on it. We're eager to see more of your pictures :-) |

| My brugs do not wilt at all if they are adequately watered, Roselee ...... I can't think of what could make yours do that unless they are in full sun. |

Carrie, that is sooo pretty! I think you need a full time garden helper to water all those pots.
Jim
BTW - My Brugs don't wilt either, but I keep them well watered. The ones in the ground are in full sun too. |

| Jim, that is the price that we, in colder zones, have to pay to have all those beautiful tropicals that those of you farther south can just leave in the ground. My tropical hibiscus (that are probably like weeds to you) have grown beyond their bounds this year, and will have to be cut back severely to get them in for winter storage. I have come to accept that I create more work for myself. |

| Pick me up on the way J.D. LOL! J.D. and Carrie, I don't know where I went wrong with my wilting Angel's trumpets. I had the yellow one which I bet once had literally hundreds of blooms on it, and a salmon colored one. This were before I was on garden web with all of you good mentors around. Maybe I should try again -- since I have no room for anymore plants :-) |

roselee
I haven't had a bloom all summer - last year, the one in the ground flushed multiple times. I haven't figured out the container growing this year. Some of them don't mind the full sun. Those Golfitos don't seem to like it too sunny. Master carrie will enlighten us, I'm sure.

| The only brug I have that will take full sun is my Dr. Seuss. The yellow one by the pool JD. I will attempt to post a pic of him, and as long as you keep him fed and watered, Roselee, he should not wilt on you and will give you many blooms. This was not a good brug year for me, but many are beginning to put on buds that should open before frost. |

 Roselee, this is recent photo of Dr. Seuss and he is in full sun at least 8 hours each day. |
