Thanks, JD. Brugmansias, also called Angel Trumpets, are the ones that I mentioned to you in an email. I'm sending you some rooted and unrooted cuttings of those. They are wonderful fragrant shrubs/trees, but they are sensitive to frost so you have to dig them up and bring them into the greenhouse for the winter. Some people dig them up and prune them and let them go dormant in the basement for the winter. You can plant them in a container and bury the container in the ground, or you can just grow them above ground in a five-gallon container. Tropicsman, who lives in Kansas too, can tell you what he does for the winter. They can be started from cuttings easily. I'll post some pictures for you to see, and here's a link: http://plantsdatabase.com/search.php?search_text=brugmansia&... Also see the Brugmansia forum here at Dave's for some awesome pictures.

Thanks for offering more of your expertise. I'm sure I will be taking advantage of it. You're right about this hobby having so many angles and surprises. I'm not really ready to go the Hydroponics route but maybe someday! I really don't want my plants growing any faster! LOL! It's too crowded in my yard as it is!

Here is a Brugmansia called Charles Grimaldi:
