I just bought my first Brugmansia yesterday Saturday 6/5 at the Farmers Market, it is a "Angels Trumpet" yellow.
I think I am hooked and will have to be carefull and not become over powered with them.
Know I just need to learn how to take care of them.

I have heard that brugs are as addictive as heroin. Too late for you my friend! I am up to 19 brugs and that still is not enough.

Welcome, Carl. Well, you've been bit by the Brug Bug. There's no hope for you now. You'll be addicted.

Here is a pic of my first. "Angels Trumpet" I seen what looked like a dark purple one that I really wanted but it was already sold and the yellow one was the only one they had left. Good as any for starters.

Carl, if you ever see a dark purple one again....it isn't an angel trumpet, AKA Brugmansia. It would be a datura. Very petty and nice blooms in any case. I like your yellow. Does it smell good?
