In love with a plant

Take a look at this alpinia vittata, the variegation is spectacular. I want it, I need it, I have to have it.

LOL Elaine.
Isn't the variegation fabulous? Must need deep shade with all that white.
I am relentless, I will have one. I haven't been so spellbound with a plant in a while.

Oh, Elaine, the Hot Cocoa rose is blooming in the most wonderful muted shade. Love it too.
Still need a Westerland.

Liz, it looks great, and should do well in your garden I'd think. The price is right as well.

I went to the local nursery the other day, and they had 2 varigated brugs. They even had them called brugmansias. No other names to tell which one they were. I didn't buy either of them, at $70.00 each, I figured I didn't need them that bad.

You better get that one Liz...it will be so tempting when it is offered on your etc. page!

I saw them here too Linda, Mayas. They bring them in from the Netherlands. The basic three, usually marked datura, white, yellow, pink. So it's a good thing that your nursery is actually labelling them Brugmansias. A step in the right direction.
Pam, I love it when I find a plant that makes my heart sing. This one sang an aria.

Get two and one of them could be a surrogate for the zonely challenged. You could post pictures every day and that way we would think it was growing in our gardens. LOL
