New Addition to the Brugmansia Collection.

A few weeks ago my dear husband surprised me with this to add to my collection. Brugmansia
Miner's Claim.  It was found at Portland's Nursery.  As you can see she wasn't in really good shape for this time or year.  So I stripped her down and sprayed the mites away.
Here she is today with her first bud.
For those of you that don't know her history she was found in CA nursery and a sport off Frosty Pink so her bloom should be pink. Will post more photos when she blooms.

Let the Brugmansia Bloom!

For the last few weeks we have been enjoying watching the Brugmansia bloom while we suffered
from a heat wave out here in the Pacific Northwest.  Our TNN's Reverse Variegated Sport that
sits in the middle of our memorial bed is currently setting buds for it's third flush.  Behind her is
Shorty's Variegate that is putting on her second flush, only one bud due to my drastic trimming.
The first flush did her in and it was time to trim her fast.  Currently we have a number of Brugmansia
in bud!

                                        Currently have three different plants with albino sports.
TNN's Reverse Variegated Sport, sitting in full sun with over 36 blooms.


Will add more when they bloom.
