Brugmansia/Datura/Iochroma

 I know that the original post was done long
ago and have had some folks request that I
update this.  It's just general information for
those that grow them.  I have been growing
them since 1995 and there is more I can add.

I will say this, one needs to find their own
path and experience these lovely ladies of
the night to understand what they are all 
about.  Pointers were few and far between
when I first started out with these.  I do
thank those that helped me along my path.
The key is education and knowledge in
what you grow.  Each garden is different, 
so each gardener is different.
