This Brugmanisa aurea is from Columbia.This is the first day on this pure Brugmansia aurea and is a wild collected specimen, yes I'm excited to see what she hold in her genes for me to explore. Super thick substance (corolla wall aka flower wall) resulting in a few cracks in the flower as I carefully attempted pollination as I did not want to disturb the flower as I realize this pod may not even form or stay during the winter months, but it does have top priority along with two other seed pods I am nursing along from my arborea collection. This is not my best picture nor is it the best she has produced. Poor lighting both for the camera and for the plant has resulted in yellowing of the calyx as well as an enlarged calyx at the end that is a bit exaggerated due to changes in the growing conditions making this one not as uniform as it should be. Still, I am sharing it with you guys. I'll post more pictures as she opens up and in better light. Just realize that you will still not be seeing this one as it is meant to be seen as poor growing conditions do affect a plants growth as well as phenotype to a certain degree. Probably not noticeable to most... but I'll put it out there for your consideration. This one is from Columbia.
