I just love the zebras in the strawberry jar, too. Your Aunt sure had some neat plants, Sherri.

I have brugmansia Charles Grimaldi putting on another flush of bloom thanks to the wonderful weather we are having. Even though the rain barrels are empty, I'm afraid to wish for rain because it would mean a cold front and the end to this fabulous run of highs 80, lows 60 - perfect weather. I've even got full size tomatoes ready to ripen, and broccoli ready to pick.

Charles's blooms start out almost white, and slowly shade to orange over about 5 days. The scent in the evenings is just lovely.

Another of my brugs from Debra has a big cluster of buds, but I'll be out of town next week when they finally open. Hope my bro will remember to take pics of them for me. He'll be here cat-sitting for the week.
