Big Yella came from me, Kathy. I just cut the mother one down a couple weeks ago! So Sad! It got so huge it was taking too big a place and I am doing a tropical spot finally after all these years! Ears, bananas etc.

Anyway, I bought that along with 3 others from the same place. All of them are a bit different though basically the same. Big Yella had different leaves from the others so it was my favorite from the begining. I have no clue who the parents are. The tag just said Brugmansia Suaveolens. I crossed the 2 in my yard and it took so I think they may have been grown from seeds. I bet Charles Grimaldi is a parent.

It is prolific and gets huge. Mine was in flower constantly, rarely a day with out a bloom except in the dead of winter. I have a couple standards of it in 20 gallon pots but they do not flower as profusley as the one I had in the ground. But they may do better next year, they were just younguns. LOL
