This is a monster brugmansia that I started from seed over two years ago. It's had buds once this summer and a freak hail storm knocked all but one off. The last one I guarded like a mother bird. One a.m. went to go see if it opened and a catipellar sp? chewed the bud off. I was in tears! SO- if something doesn't happen to it, I'll have a bloom in about two weeks.

This plant grew over 10 feet high in a few months. The foliage was HUGE and not bothered by any bugs -except the dam* catipellar!

Rooted this cutting in water.
