Hi, I would love some deep pink brugmansia cuttings--like Eucador Pink. I have clivia seeds, cassias seeds, desert willow seeds etc. I also have an amazing flowering shrub that has the most beautiful blue flowers. I don't know what it is. I got a little cutting from the Arboretum near me--and now it a huge plant. It has a very long bloom period. I can give you cuttings.

What a cute little pig! Purple heart is Tradescantia pallida it has a somewhat vining habit and roots easily from the joints. Makes little purple pink flowers but is really grown for the deep purple foilage. It will be darker in sun but does great in shade as well. It tolerates dryness and moisture. I found some growing in one spot of my yard and just hacked it all up and planted it around- it seems to have took. I think Persian Shield would do okay under brugs too. It can grow up to 5 ft but you can keep it cut to a decent height. Some Crotons would probably work in florida too but might have to be brought in during winter. I hear the yellows do better in sun vs. the darker reddish colors. They like a lot of humidity and would have to be cut back when they got too tall as well. I had crotons under some potted brugs in LA and they did okay but were in afternoon shade. Here is a link that might be useful: purple heart

Karin, Harding Nursery 1995-2003 - Harding Nursery ceased to exist when my husband died Nov. 2003. An excellent reputation always! We specialized in Hostas, grasses , perennials, trees, crape myrtle, spirea and shrubs hardy to our TN environment. We sold wholesale to local landscapers and retail to local gardeners. Harding Nursery did not sell any kinds of plants other than brugs on the internet. Harding Nursery itself stopped marketing Brugmansia in 2001. LBJ was a venture I entered in late 2001 thinking it was a step up for me. I met and joined up with a source that had euro brugs! All I had to do was build the website and pass the order along from customer to supplier. Never had I been more excited about my future in the commercial brug world! I was so wrong. Instead I found myself caught in the middle of customer and supplier disputes. I removed myself from that whole scene. I do not fault the supplier totally. They had no idea that some of the most beautiful euro brugs they were growing were weak. Angels Dream, the first euro double pink in the USA, died. Later we learned it died in europe too. Also they could not foresee environmental brug disasters and California state government intrusions. If you knew everything these guys went thru during the LBJ days it would amaze you that they survived this horrible time. They are very successful today. Interesting that very few of the EURO brugs from the LBJ days passed the test of time. Im not worried one bit with the past LBJ issues. Im sorry it didnt work out but it certainly didnt ruin my life. Sorry to disappoint you Karin and company.lol! !:) The entire LBJ euro brug experience only confirms the truth of my opinion that brugs need to be thouroughly trialed and tested before they are registered or marketed. Nothing wrong with ebay karin. But there is something wrong with registering untrialed seedlings and using "registered" like it is a badge of honor and quality. In my opinion it is deception.

Mike - I have to go down there to see what he's going to do with them. Tell ya what - if he's just staring at them and isn't going to "actively" grown them - I'll see if I can scalp one. They're tiny one year olds though - so they may be terribly green. I'm up against shipping now with freezing temps. Let me see what I can do. The day I got them, he said "those would look good on my porch." (gulp!) Here ya go dad. (grin) They're not mine anymore. I hope I can get there - I'll take a look and see if there's a cutting spot.
