This one is just opening. These are it's first blooms for me.

There are 6 buds. If it produces enough pollen ..I can share.

Brugmansia 'Creamsickle' first blooms
Alice, do you find this plant easy to grow, and do you have the double peach? i'm still trying to figure out if i mixed up the labels on DP and CS. whatever it is, the first bloom was the only one to drop out the skirt, but it split the calyx at the top and lost the calyx before blooming. i'd say right off it looks like the one i have been posting pics of is DP, not creamsickle. appreciate any help you could give me here.
Hi Alene,
I went out and checked. Not open yet, but I see blooms 2 and 3 also have skirts.
I set this plant back pushed to taking cuttings too soon. But it did put on size over winter in a cool greenhouse. Spring it is going good. I would say it grows easily enough for me.
This one is from NHE last summer.
I do not have Double Peach. It was on my same order to NHE (early 2001) ..I have not received the remainer since
this [Creamsickle], Super Nova, and Herrenhauser last summer.
I will post another photo as it blooms through. Perhaps we can get to the bottom of real 'Creamsickle' this way. LOL
By the way, your photo is lovely. And all the others you have posted.
You grow them well (o:

Alice, thanks, i got behind on my fertilizer though, trying to save money. lesson learned. the double peach (i received in january..guess you don't want to her that!!) was a very slow grower and did not root easily for me. this one seems to root in a heart beat, it keeps putting up shoots i can usually get out with a bit of roots on it. it keeps putting up buds, has probably 10 on it now.
now the above is based on me NOT mixing up the labels, and i was so very careful not to, i thought.
arlene, it's possible they mixed the labels in packing??
Right on Tig.That would be my story and I would stick to it.
