i gave my mother some seedlings that had not started there leaf structure yet now they have grown a lot and.... what is this Is it even a Brug I got these seeds from Cala the others were suppose to be L'amour
what kind of Brug is this YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS
here is better pictures
one more of the stalk My mother swears this one of the plants i gave her and that she hasn't rooted any thing so i don't know what it could be.
The stems look funny for a brug.... they look more like datura stems but the leaves don't
Spingsong, I have a couple of cuttings where the leaf development looks similar to yours. I suspect mine is due to exposure to overly cool temperatures (cuttings left outside one day that turned unexpectedly cold).
I am curious to see what the experts say on this. Nat
yeah the stems are really hard and woody
I have a couple tangerine seedlings from seeds my daughters planted. They look just like the plant you posted.
I vote for Iochroma:-)

I'm with Vickey,I have a few iochromas and they do look like that.
Were they bonus seeds? Susie often adds in bonus brugs or seeds to an order. I will ask her for you. I know she has lochroma growing.
they were rosamond x l'amour seeds but i have gotten alot of seeds from her a seed mix some bert x eventide , and one more pack i can't remember,but i didn't send them to my mothers i sent my special babies to her house, it probably got mixed in by accident i have done it drying them before, so is this Ichocroma a good thing they look very pretty what pictures i have seen. do you think she will want it back?lOL
Iochromas are gorgeous. They are close relatives of Brugmansias, but come in royal blues, purples, and red. They bloom small, but can grow to ten feet or more. Check the Kartuz website for photos. http://kartuz.com

yes i do believe you are right it is a Iochromas, only thing is now that i have looked at that web page I want all of them i see, can they live here? 8B
Renee (ruby_tuesday ) grows these I believe.

She does Shirley, and she loves them. I didn't get enough satisfaction out of mine for the space and trouble they were. The red bloomed the best for me, but they all got a little stretched looking. I'm sure that was my fault, so I'll save my space for brugs.
