Just curious....
I think Honest bubbles should bubble up a pic of it red! LOL!
Besides, how does something FADE from white to red?
Definition of fade:
1 : to lose freshness, strength, or vitality : WITHER
2 : to lose freshness or brilliance of color
3 : to sink away : VANISH
4 : to change gradually in loudness, strength, or visibility -- used of a motion-picture image or of an electronics signal and usually with in or out
5 of an automobile brake : to lose braking power gradually
6 : to move back from the line of scrimmage -- used of a quarterback
transitive senses : to cause to fade
Probably a Frosty..
Only on ebay.
The ABADs site lists "white flame" as a sanguinea. But Bubbles picture certainly does not resemble a sang.
What a bunch of crud !
OK posse, time to get your letters written to her/him. I already did. " We " have convinced false brug sellers to withdraw thier items in the past , so "Let's Go!"
Just be firm & polite .
Okay, on a more serious note, what if ... if many of these people out there selling and many companies as well actually act in good faith? When I think of the time before I started here on Daves Garden I only knew Datura very well, but I had not the slightest clue, that Brugmansia hybrids existed or that they was not called Datura. I grew B. x flava 'Gelber Engel', but though it was a species that even donīt exist anymore in modern botany, Datura clorantha ... Yes, 'lol' I had it all figured out back then, didn't I relating all those hybrids to the species 'lol' ... Both Genus Datura and Genus Brugmansia is full of species confusion, so take care to tell them gently and tactfull. I have e-mailed to a few companies my self and they were actually glad, that I told them and wanted to know more about, which species or hybrids they had in stock. It is the curse that follows knowing much about a thing. Others might not know as much as we do, but most often are they glad for someone reaching out to give them a helping hand as well as they are glad, if they can consult you again, until the basics is in place.
Eileen, yes, 'White Flame' is a B. sanguinea hybrid grown in Europe. Origin of the plant is unknown.
Okay, serious things said, so on a more funny note:
Kelley,
quote: " ... she said it was a "BRUGMANSIA RED" which I guess is a burnt red, or orangish red, reminiscent of a flame... but, he called them a "white flame" ... "
*ROFLOL*
Even though a lot of guesswork and kicking away personally responsibillity as to the trueness of the color seems to be going on as well I must admit that I admire an advertising, where the colors are able to escalate faster, than an formula one car leaves the startfield. My dear little doggies would do exactly the same, if I ever cried: - Boogedee-boogedee-booh!!! in their ear, when they were sleeping. That is not only entertaining. That is taking sales technics to the olympics heights. ... now, Kelley, we have to be fair now. EBay'er already actually did bubble up all those lovely leaves. Can more be asked? No kicking football as well. Frosty was never meant to play sucker :D
... btw. I bet my neighbours old horses on no. 4 : to change gradually in loudness, strength, or visibility -- used of a motion-picture image or of an electronics signal and usually with in or out
... if anyone gave the wonderplant to Susie for Christmas and she found out, that she preferred better all the plain, boring brugs and start feeding wonderplant to the gators ... then it will change gradually in visibillity 'lol'
