Lady---

Glad it is blooming......Your other one WILL "Y"--sooner or later. From then on--all new growth above the first "Y" will be "Y"-ing....

Down the road, when you do take cuttings, take them from above the "Y" to get early bloom (like the one I gave you). No matter what part of the Brug you root--they will all grow--but the blooms ONLY come once it has "Y"-ed....

Will you be taking it in for the winter and allowing it to go dormant? That is what I do....Have 4 now to find room for....Mamma Mia! I remove all the leaves (except for the top growth) and lug the pots in my basement--and that's that. Put a plastic bag loosely around the pot and water a bit once a month.

It was just amazing last winter----The Maya Brug actually produced about 5 blooms while in the basement on bare stalks....
