Love those Brugs, Elaine!
Gigi, those succulents are outstanding!
I have a Brom that has finally bloomed for me for the very first time. I think it's a Vriesea carinata.
Was heartbroken to have lost a Spiraea, to the dreaded and highly invasive Cat's Claw vine.
There was absolutely no way to save it. This horrible vine had totally devoured the plant and the root ball.
Found a "friend" hanging out in the Boxwoods.
