Gita,
I've seen pictures of Brugmansia but never actually seen one face-to-face. Going to have to come and admire it. It really looks like an alien!

In my capacity as "Plant Biologist", I work in a Plant Diagnostics lab, using molecular biology techniques to diagnose plant diseases. When I get a positive result, it's a bad thing. I've only ever taken a Botany course, not Plant Pathology, so I don't know that I'd be able to answer any of your plant disease questions. My expertise is in just a few federally-regulated diseases that none of us in the MidAtlantic area will hopefully ever see. It's an interesting job, but demanding and intensive.

Sally,
Pinetree Garden Seeds is a hidden gem.Thank you!

Nice to meet you, Holly and Jan!

As this is a thread on what's blooming, I'll add a little eyecandy....
