I admit it, until I joined DG, I had never even heard of Brugmansia's. Well, okay, I'd heard the name, but that's it. Never saw one and certainly had no clue there were so many different ones...or that there was a whole Brug following. :-) But ow that I've seen so many of your photos, I hafta say that I agree, they are just phenomenal! I'd love to have one in my garden. But since I've just admitted I had no clue about their mere existence, I obviously have no clue about their needs. I'm in a pretty hot and dry summer climate. And our winters get to about 40F and are very wet. Would my climate be appropriate for Brugs?
Thanks in advance for any feedback. :-)

Okay, Brugs for Dummies please ;-)
I am also new one with brugs , but now I am in love with this plant, after watching beautiful pictures of this plant in this forum.
I also want to know more about this plant.
Besides all the good information that everyone adds to the forums, if you could click on Monika's name and search through the threads she has started, you will find some great information. Others to check would be Calalily, Kell, Eclipse, and TLynn. Those are just a few who have posted information and given so much help to us brug addicts.
gumlla, the list would not be complete without adding Shirley,
'Brugie', to your list!!!!!
I'm bumbling along with them. It's cool here and my whole property is pretty shady, but I have one spot that gets enough sun for about a half dozen. I had only one last year, Isabella, a pink. I took cuttings of it but was given several more by DGers in the mail and at the GA round-up.
The ones I rooted were in a heated basement but it didn't exactly have much light. They struggled, but most made it and I kept a few and gave the rest away. One resides in a big pot where I worked.
They are as addictive as roses.
If you e-mail me, I will send some cuttings to you.
By the way, some folks just keep them rooted in water all winter.....
