This Guy (a Dr. Seuss brugmansia) fills this bed all by himself....

It got too big for mer to take in to winter over...so--I cut it back--and took
cuttings and big plant itself to Cylburn Arboretum here in Baltimore...

This was the second huge brug I gave away--along with 2 huge, heavy baskets
of Ric-Rac Cactus as well as two huge Epis.

So--this year--I start all over from cuttings...NOT the first time.
These Brugs and Epis grow so fast and so big--in 3-4 years--there's another
monster....
Over the 12 years or so on Dg--and 2 yrs before that on Garden Web--
I have accumulated odd plants...None common in this area.....

Here is the Dr. Seuss--last September... Awesomely beautiful!
Under it are red wax Begonias.
