Hiya folks! I'm relatively new to the whole Dave's Garden experience but I love all the photos, information, and friendly people. I'm usually a Vines and Climbers kind of girl but I have to say that before I joined the garden here, I had never seen Brugs. I thought they were just beautiful and I come back to them time and time again to see the updates and to learn more.
Okay.....now that I've rambled........I recently was at the Ice cream/Garden Shop and found a beautiful plant with large buds ready to bloom. I pulled all my change together (literally, I paid about $8.00 in change and actually got it about $2.00 cheaper than it was marked because I think they got tired of counting nickels, lol). Well it turns out that it was a Datura inoxia and I'm so happy that last night I got to witness the first bloom opening! The fragrance is out of this world!! Anyhoo I just wanted to share that and request that anyone willing to give advice to this novice gardener, I'd appreciate the hints! Here's a pic!
