I'm new to this forum and relatively new to growing Brugs and Daturas until this year when I've started growing about a half a dozen from rooted cuttings, most through great trades with folks here.

Recently my fiancé and I spent a few days on the Northern California Coast in Mendocino. For anyone familiar with this place it is quite a garden spot. One of the showiest trees were Brugmansia sanguineas, which were drop-dead gorgeous. The deep reds are almost unreal, probably due to the very cool climate here on the Pacific coast and during an particularly cool summer. The picture posted here shows 3 flowers all for different angles Post that follow are just to post a few other photos. These were all taken about 2 weeks ago.

I hope you all enjoy these photos even half as much as I do.
