Laura,

Looks as though you've been bitten by the Brugmansia bug!
There are so many countless types to try, I keep to just a few. One of my biggest let downs was B. sanguinea. Nice enough, but absolutely zero in the fragrance department.
Some types grow as returning plants here but never attain any good size and flower quite late in the season. Best for full effect is to allow potted specimen to go dormant in a cool area during winter.

Cheers, Barrie (Vancouver Island)

Laura, they're GORGEOUS!

Really beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your photos and it seems that you definately have a green thumb :)

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I am just learning to grow these beauties :o)

I also must correct my id of one of my plants that I recieved from Ruth Ann .. it is actually a Tierra x V. Orange. I am waiting for the L'amour to bloom .. my apologies Ruth Ann :o)

Laura

Those are beautiful!

I would so love to grow some, but I don't dare get bitten by the Brug bug - I just don't have the space for them :-(

Your Brugs, are gorgeous, Laura. I too have many buds on four of my Brugs, Frosty Pink, who has been flowering all August too, Charles Grimaldi, Versicolor Orange and Isabella. I am hoping that they will still have a chance to bloom too. Have them in an unheated Greenhouse right now..just in case of F....!!!

Good luck with yours. I adore your Double White...to die for!! :)

Donna

Beautiful shots, Laura. Well done. My double white was always a good bloomer, but alas this year it has sulked, and not even given me a bud yet.

Yours brugs are just gorgeous, and large! How do you overwinter them indoors? Do you dry them out a little and make them go dormant and store them in a cool place, or do you keep them growing in a sunny window?

I've wanted to try them again but can't seem to find any small cuttings at the nurseries. I can't afford to buy the large plants that sell for 50 bucks, is there a source you can recommend in Toronto?

jonjon, if I knew your email, I could send you a message, but your page does not mention one. Where do you live? Anywhere near Rockwood, ON? I will be doing some cuttings soon, and could share with you. You can email me separately.

Laura, Just beautiful!! Shall I bring you a cutting of Rosalind (or maybe it's Rosamond) to the Markham swap?

Cheryl

Oh by all means Cheryl!! The cuttings you gave me last year did wonderfully!! I think they were the Charles G and the Frosted Pink?? I am following Jroot and Ruth Ann's lead on when to bring my plants in .. after all I am a newbie to these guys :o)

Jonjon .. this will be my first year over wintering them .. and I have chosen to have them go dormant. If you would like .. I no long want to keep the little white brug. It was a tip cutting a received last year .. so it is bushy but little. I might keep a cutting or two but would perfer to have more color in my garden .. with limited space .. this great little bloomer is looking for a home. Email me .. if you would like to come and pick it up.

My brugs really arnt all that big .. not like Ruth Ann's beauties .. I am still in shock after seeing just how tall they are able to get in our climate!!

Jroot lets see some snaps of your beauties ..

Laura
