Samba Dancer

This is another beautiful brugmansia by Monika Gottschalk that loves the florida weather. She has her first bloom open and several other skirts have dropped....
Breathtakingly long tendrils on beautiful ruffled blooms. the cross on this one is Carmencita x Ecuador Pink.
Living in South Florida can be a challenge when growing brugs. The heat can really zap the blooms but this one is holding up and is sure to be a long standing member in my collection

Skirts are dropping, so there will be more blooms (and pics) in the days to come. The blooms can vary from pure white to a champagne color...it's going to be interesting to see how these blooms mature

Soo pretty, does she have a smaller bloom then most?
Love the smaller blooms!

Karen

The blooms are medium sized....i have big hands so it dwarfed the bloom... ;}

As the bloom matures the tendrils look longer as the skirts become more ruffled

Gorgeous!

She is gorgeous Gary !!

a few more blooms just dropped skirts...this is a really beautiful cultivar...

one more

Just wonderful Gary, i am so glad to have given this SD standard to you, you have given her a very good loving home and she will reward you for the wonderful care you give her,

Well, with the single rosalie bloom I have had this season, I had extracted pollen and i used it to hit the three blooms on Samba Dancer..Well, guess what...I may have three pods from the deal....Keeping my fingers crossed because in the past i have lost pods on other cultivars in this development stage....i sure hope at least one of these babies holds on.

You could have all three pods take and you might have little pink Samba Dancers all over your yard! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

VERY nice Gary!

'Samba Dancer' is a very very lovely brugmansia.

I'll second that, how's the scent? thanks for sharing great looking flower!

'Samba Dancer' is blooming again here now, too :))
It is always good to see GREAT brugs. She is definitely a great one!!
Seeing Everyone's excellent pics of here has been great, too :))
Thanks!

These Samba Dancer X Rosalie pods are growing really fast....i have high hopes for this cross because both of these of these brugs do so well here in florida

I need to stop drooling, it is a beautiful brug.

Samba Dancer is really fabulous! Did I miss any comments about her fragrance????

Fragrance was mildly citrusy...pleasant but not over powering

'Samba Dancer' .. starting her show here now, too.

Beautiful! Okay, I have to have one.. *sigh*

Your killing me with all these pictures Gary !

It really cracks me up.... how addicted we are to these plants! ♥♥♥
