Don't know what else to do with this picture. I am "playing" brugmansia grower with my first shot at this angle and lighting. This is just our regular old pink noid gal- still love her no matter how ugly she gets during the summer.

BTW, figured out what was causing my immature bud drop- #@$#$#%$^ thrips. I have so far avoided spraying my brugs, but I will for this next time I catch the symptom with each individual plant. *So far* it seems to be sporadic as to which plant it attacks.

Also, sorry to say that darling little variegated seedling I had going got eaten. I drenched and drenched for all the cut worms- it wasn't them. I think it was the squirrels. I had her isolated from other brugs but on the same table as palm seedlings......those heartless squirrels love palm seedlings. She was chomped from the top down. I totally didn't see that coming.

PLMK about the grafting.......I can probably still get a good deal on a local source for a pink noid (root stock.) This has been done in FL with citrus......not a big selling point for me, but interesting nonetheless......
