Hot and humid.....hot and humid.....no fun going out to garden I can't wait for some breathable, cooler air.... Something odd with my brugmansias. They have grown big, semi healthy, the srems have "Y"-ed...BIUT... there are NO flowers!!!! So weird! The Maya has been yellowing leaves for a long while now. They look awful--and drop off-- or I pick them off. I bet the whole bottom half of the plant has lost all it's leaves. The Dr. Seuss, just a few feet away--is doing OK. But--no blooms either. I have sprayed the Maya with all kinds of things. Even mixed up a new batch of "Forbid" (I have some of this). Leav-by-leaf--bottoms as well. It helped a little bit... I went through this same thing 2 years ago. same yellowing of leaves--getting mottly looking--but I could never see any insects on there--unless they are microscopic, I wonder if the NO blooms has anything to do with all my spraying? ???? Or--maybe the weather? I have heard that brugs don't like overly hot weather.... but this summer is not so different from many otheres--is it? Pic #4 & #5--I just went out and took these. Look at the poor "Maya"... |
