brugmansias!

18 years ago

Brugmansias are kind of borderline here, they bloom briefly in the spring before it gets too hot, then at the very last second before winter, when it cools off.(they dont set flower buds with high night time temperatures) This fall has been cooler at night earlier than normal, so I have a nicer display than usual. Enjoy!

DAVISSUE, I sure covet your Bruggies. Can you tell us what varieties you have there? How big are they/get? Thanx for sharing.

Frosty, Charles Grimaldi(or Dr Seuss) and the common double white. They get about ten feet tall, and thats with being frosted back to stumps almost every year. I can't imagine how tall they would get in a frost free climate. Sue
