She is pretty, but boy, would I love to have a tree full of blooms. Today, things are suffering. My Mountain Magic leaves look great but the blooms aren't handling the heat at all. They are droopy at best. L'Amour seems to handle it well as does Butterfly. Even EP is holding her blooms, tho she sure doesn't have many. LOL!
One more picture taken this AM.
Just such a beautiful flower!! I love it!
I have one stinker (that will remain nameless) that just does NOT do well at all in the heat, the leaves wilt so bad by the end of the day, and its in the ground. I dont know what else to do. We dont usually get above 40-45% humidity, and the hottest part of the year isnt even here yet.

Good color on the shaded bloom,I am glad you are getting some blooms!
Yeah ... she's a beauty!
Shirley, your L'Amour has a beautiful color.
Thanks Monika. I think I was just expecting it to be darker.
Brugie, you know that I'm new at these and I wondered if that is a Brug or a Datura? And what is the biggest difference?
My picture is a brug. The biggest difference between the two is that datura are short lived, basically annuals. Especially in the north. Brugs can be held over for years and years. They can get to be actual trees where they don't die back from freezes. Probably with good mulch, some brugs would live over in the ground in your area. However, they are a little slower to come back and bloom from what I've heard.
Oh Shirley, I think she is beautiful! I know the heat is miserable, but L'Amour is so pretty to me! I love your blooms!
Another beauty, Shirley....I was also pleased that mine handles the heat real well also.
One of my favorites...(Like them all)... :)~
They look great Shirley
I have NO blooms right now......
So I gotta drool over everyone elses
Very pretty, Shirley.
Thanks you all. I wish she would bloom heavy for me before summer is over. Everything is starting to bud now, so within two or three weeks, I should have some blooms. Hang in there Karyn, you are a little behind us, so yours should start showing off soon.
Shirley mine has really bloomed heavy this 3rd flush. She is one of few blooming in all this extreme heat and humidity. They are starting out lighter though but do darken up before it fades.
Thanks Donna. That means there is hope yet.
Shirley -- I think she's just beautiful!
Thought you might enjoy seeing the differance from plant to plant here even thought they are both from the Mom, one is just older and bigger than the other.
Another first day color!
Boy, that's gorgeous. Got to have one of them.
I love that very long calyx. The buds on this one amaze me. Good comparison shots and they are both beautiful blooms Tracey.
Beautiful Tracey!
Oh Tracey, thanks for posting pics! They are gorgeous...I'm loving mine so much and have about 5 more buds coming on. Can't wait!!!
Beautiful, Tracey. I love mine and can't wait until it has more blooms.
Is is a good one!
