Jade. I had one spring up from an occupied indoor flowerpot in the city. No idea where the seed could have come from.

well i gees i can blame my dad for my addiction. it all started eary last year on a hot day and i wanted to pull some chicken wire out of a garden, as it used to stop the dogs from walking though the garden, now they just jump the chicken mesh. so i got in a removed it in the prossece i pulled out atleast 50 to 100 broms, they were all of 4 species not sure what types. but any way i put them back in the garden and a few days later they all died, so i blamed myself for it. and later found out it was a frost. i did origanly belive it was dad who had collected them so me being me i wanted to collect them to, so i got addicted, but the other week i found out they all were plants my grandma gave us. but it was thanks to ebay for my real problem, now i got 60 difernt types of broms under a tree all chewed. any way plantman45 if i end up needing to buy my nabours property and building a 4 story green house i defently will need some help quitting this addiction, as i live on a 31 acker block of land and if i feel that up ill give them all away to you guys as i clearly have been wasting time.

The problem with 'naming' a Brugmansia is that it causes confusion once a registered one is named the same name. Someone will wonder how come their 'Little Miss' has a yellow bloom and smooth edged leaves and someone else's 'Little Miss' has a pink bloom and deeply serrated leaves. Simply naming it does not mean that same name can not be used for another Brugmansia. Valid publication of a name in print is what establishes it permanently under international convention, and this involves the name being registered with the International Cultivar Registration Authority for Brugmansia and Datura [ICRA] This is my understanding.............. Anyone can register a Brugmansia as long as the proper forms are filled out so the part about "one of the sellers are selling their own seedlings and the descrioption says that when it grows it will be the only one of it's kind and you can name it." is correct.... seeds are like snowflakes, no two are identical in their genetics but really you should try to only register plants the have been grown for 2 or more years and you are certain are an improvement on any that have been registered previously. Otherwise we will end up with a ton of Brugmansia that all look the same, will be hard to ID/differentiate and not have good breeding stock for improving the breed. I am not saying don't have fun crossing your Brugs at home and getting seeds, just enjoy them for yourself and your friends. [climbing down off my soap box now :))]

Probably Aspidistra, cast iron plant. http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/graphics/1717/aspidistra_1050_bhs_16.jpg
