Someone wrote about bougies and I just happened to glance over at
the three bougies on the windowsill behind me and one of them --
the smallest (pink pixie - thanks Bill Sykes)) -- is blooming!
It is planted in a Japanese tea cup that my wife (Jackie) threw
20 some years ago. I drilled a hole in its bottom (with her
permission) last year.
So, if you have problems getting your bougie to bloom, just
ignore them for a winter. The flower (bract) is less than a half
inch wide.
Nary a scale on them ;-).
