weather wise. 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"...
