I love the warm colors of your Brugmansia blossoms. It sure makes me wish I had a greenhouse. Maybe one day I will be able to get a small one. I really like the Susanne, and Day Dreams! Take care.

Oh, Bren - how very beautiful!!! I can hardly wait for next spring when I can get my new cuttings out, and hopefully by summer, have blooms like yours.
Thanks for sharing these with us ----

Bren, I have to agree with Carrie, maybe next year all of ours will grow up to look like yours! Just beautiful! And I'll bet the smell is out of this world!!
The picture of the Magic Mountain makes me excited. Back in the spring I planted some of these seeds and now I know what they will look like when they bloom. Cj

Thanks Everyone! I can get a small whiff of Brugs even though I have a terrible cold at the moment and my nose isn't functioning much at all. It's a shame as I am getting blooms from some I have never seen or sniffed before.
CJ.... Don't want to burst your bubble as you may have some great seedlings from the seeds you planted but Brugs do not come true from seed. They will be a genectic mixture of both parents and could look simalar to Mountain Magic or the pollen donor but there will never be another Mountain Magic grown from seed.

Hey, I can take pink like that.....no problem. LOL! Very pretty pictures. Sorry I haven't been around today. Was released from the lung specialist today, so I've been celebrating. Gosh Brenda, I love that first one. We may have to do some more talking. LOL! I know I have something you want.
Time for me to kick back. 4 AM was pretty early this morning. Have a great night everyone and an even better weekend. Talk to you soon.

Shirley....Let's talk....LOL I am soooo waiting on some basal shoots from this plant so I can start some rooting. She just wanted to be a jack in the beanstalk and grew to 7 feet before it Y'd. The Y's are very green at this time but as it puts out more growth I know I will be tempted to root a piece. Until then I am going to try pollinataing some blooms. No sign of any pollen on the first few blooms but I'll be checking to see if she is receptive. I am pondering a good match for her right now.
I didn't know you were under a doctors care for your lungs but any release from a doctor is reason for celebration!

Wow, Bren, would love to walk through your greenhouse right now. I'll bet it's breathtaking. Too bad you have a cold and can't smell them. I'm with Shirley, Mon Amour de Mareuil is gorgeous...but then they're all beautiful. for tantalizing us with them.
