I've only recently become interested in Brugmansias after having grown jasmines. However, the few specimens that I have acquired were less than I hoped for. I got two from a local nursery tagged only as 'White' and 'Yellow' and they both turned out this cream with pinky-peach edges. I tried mail-order and the "Pink" came out the same. And although Brugs are renowned for there fragrance, mine are only fragrant in the evening, and faintly at that. I'm determined to find a variety (cultivar) that is extremely fragrant from a more reliable source. I do treasure the sheer beauty of the brugs I have now, but what's my best choice of named varieties to find that elusive fragrance, and where?
