great pictures, thanks for sharing.
Great pictures Clayton. CG is a beautiful brug. I love mine. Such a heavy bloomer.
I like how it make my whole yard smell wonderful
Ludger, I just had to put the Dats in there it is over six foot tall. It came up on its own. I guess a seed got away

Very nice pictures Clayton. CG is a great Brug.
You were in the 90's today? Jeesh, I really need to move south.
Yes we were in the 90's today, but it will be getting into the 70's this weekend.
Lucky you! It was in the 30's here today and snowed most of the day. Wanna trade places? LOL
No way!!! I don't like that cold weather, plus I wouldn't be have these kind of pictures. Check out my tropical plants I posted on the tropical forum.
Just came from the Tropical forum. I don't blame you for not wanting to trade places with me, if I was you I wouldn't want to trade either. :)
Your plants are absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, I just wished I had a greenhouse. Maybe one day I will. I got to go, I have to get up early to go to work I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Love the brug & the Dats!
ClaytonDT, Very nice pictures. My CG is still trying to bloom even tho pretty chilly outside. Got down to 39 early this morning. One is still out on the deck. I brought one into the house a couple of weeks ago, in a large pot. It was loaded with buds, the temp, in the house in mid to high 60s, dropped every bud and most of the leaves. So it goes to the compost. i have cuttings growing in the greenhouse. Donna
Thanks Jenks, for the link
Beautiful photos, Clayton! 6-foot Datura... That's a biggie! I never managed to get the double daturas more than a couple of feet tall.
Yes Sue, it is over 6 foot tall I am about 5'11" tall and it is taller than me. All I did to it was watering it and very little feeding it.
Let me know if you get some seeds from it, Clayton. I bet it wouldn't get that tall here but I'd like to try it. I never had much luck with the double dats. The white ones come up like weeds tho.
Sue, it is loaded with seed pods right now soon as they get ready I will send you some. Have you checked out the plants I posted on the tropical forum.
I haven't got that far yet ... but I will :)
Donna, It's normal for it to drop it's leaves and buds when brought into the house. Once it gets adjusted to it's new envirement it will start growing new leaves if in the sun and watered or you can have it go dormant and put it into the basement where it will be cool. You'll have a head start next year with a large plant and have earlier flowers.
Beautiful pics and what a glorious combo. Purple with the orange. Just great.
That's amazing Clayton. Mine Datura never got over about 4' tall either.
Kell, it wasn't my choice to put the Datura near the Brug it came up there on it own. It was Mother Nature's own color combo scheme I can't take credit for it.
Donna, this the only one that has ever gotten this big. The other ones I have or had has never gotten near this big, at the most about three foot tall.
