Tropicals & Tender Perennials: I would like to try growing a brug from seed, 1 by andycdn

Here's a picture of the datura when it bloomed, and yes, it was in a large pot with yellow cannas. The datura was a double, opening yellow/white and then turning buff. It was barely fragrant at night/early morning. Pretty disappointing, considering I thought I was growing brugmansia seed. It grew to about 4' and seemed to trive in the VERY crowded pot, as the cannas kept send up new shoots. I have about 30 canna rhizomes with growing tips for this spring. I'll be starting them and donating them to my local park 'friends' committee.

The pot and its space is such a great feature, I really wanted to have the brugmansia there, so maybe this year I'll have better luck. Some folks have been very kind helping me find seed. Thanks! Photos of REAL brugs to follow if I'm successful.
