Lisa, if there is anything I have learned from these knowledgable ladies & gents here, the Brugs won't usually bloom until their trunks make a Y. And I have read that if the cutting they were started from was taken from below the Y of the mother plant, it takes that plant longer to bloom than if it was started from a cutting taken from above the Y. Now I don't know if this is absolutely correct or not, but I have read some articles to this effect. I don't know from personal experience except that my yellow I have always grown in the ground and it comes back up every year. But it is always late coming up, sometimes it's nearly June before it comes up. Then it has to grow a lot before it blooms, thus it is nearly frost most years befit I see it bloom and then I only have a sweet few days to enjoy it's blooms before the frost claims it. Some years they never get to open. So I guess the Y doesent form fast enough for it to bloom early. Last year I saved a cutting from her which is happily growing in a pot now, and I'm going to keep it going.
