I am down to the last one to be pulled andS
stripped but there is a huge problem! Bees!!
While stripping one of the smaller B. Shorty's
Variegated, this was spotted.
A green branch with a normal bud and an
albino bud with one small leaf. Strange things
due to what I am noting. When I see a the
branch with Albino buds it's also albino.

Sad to say this morning the albino bud was
found on the ground, only the leaf remained.

This year we have had several albino buds,
most of them have dropped off. We have
had albino blooms in the past and seedpods.
On another plant this is the branch.

I was asked today why do I strip off all the
leaves before putting away?
There is many reasons....... outside leaves are
different from the inside leaves. They grow back
fast and if you haven't seen them drop the leaves
when they are unhappy. It's a huge mess. All
year long with the burning we deal with to keep
the yellowing leaves need to be removed. Keeping
these lovely ladies of the night healthy is the key.
It also gives me the chance to remove all the worms
that come with growing them.
