Rain!! and lots of it! We had a little today - but that was it just a little. It was a really nice cool day however. Stayed in the eighties all day. You can already tell my brugs are liking this cooler weather. I'm starting to see lots of buds. I have Temple Goddess blooming right now and another one will be opening in just a couple of days (can't remember the name without going out and looking). I have really fought the bugs this year. Don't usually have much of a problem. I had broadmites a few weeks ago. I found some stuff by Bayer for mites and sprayed everything and I mean everything really good. The new growth on the brugs is fine - no sign of mites. I have gradually pulled all the small crispy leaves off. But today I found a little tiny green cat on one of the brugs and some other bug that I was going to crush but he escaped my hand. I've also found green grasshopper looking bugs on another brug. It's a constant battle.

Here is Temple Goddess.
