i was looking at annie's annuals web site and they have a brugmansia sanguinea listed with a common name of “Scarlet Angel’s Trumpet”. i wonder if someone took the 'Scarlet' name from that or misinterpreted a label.

Brugmansia sanguinea - "Scarlet"
Yep, she's a beauty!!!!
Don't want to put the kabosh on Ms Scarlet......what is it with her? She always wants to bloom when it's in the mid 90's.
She has two more buds, after suffering from a bad case of teenage acne or more likely an attack of rust of some sort.
I'm just tip-toeing around her and pretending not to notice anything, you know how teenagers with pimples can be. :-)
ED:spelling/typing!

LOL Happenstance.
Good for you! Can't wait to see the bloom.
The July buds fried in the heat, but she's still hanging on and producing a few more buds. Not a pretty plant, but she still gets an 'A' for her steadfast attitude.
Holey-Moley Candy , That is a beautiful bloom .So very different from mine , almost all yellow/gold with a red blush around the bottom.
Happy for you that you got some to open up and I hope get you more.
scooter - yours looks very much like my 'Inca Princess' !!

Very pretty blooms.
Candy, Does Inca Princess have a red blush around the bottom between the ribs ?Sure would be nice to have a name for her.
TNX
Oh, those are so pretty. I grew 5 from seed and the last one melted in July.
My 'Inca Princess' is plain yellow, just went out and checked to make sure and there is no hint of a blush on them.
hi Candy i thought i was bad waiting for a bud to open but isn,t it fun worth the effort beautiful bloom i had one plant that i nursed all winter put it outdoors and died. Bob
Hi Bob -
I'm still nursing a couple of cuttings from last winter. They just haven't taken off like most of the others.....still hoping that they are putting lots of effort into a good root system to get them through the winter and that next spring they will become giants! :-)
