Wonderful scent in the garden tonight

League City, TX(Zone 9a)

I feel kind of silly posting my garden variety brug photos. But DH and I went out to the garden to stick our noses in blooms as the scent hits you the minute the back door is opened. I started collecting a few years ago, not paying much attention to names and the tags got lost. All of mine are in ground. Have a dozen or so scattered about the yard.
Had to share this photo. The white in the back ground is my roof line. This brug is huge. Including a few other night photos as we walked about.
I hang out on the Hoya forum mostly but I check the Brugmansia forum just about everyday.
I recently acquired some nice rooted starts of Super Nova. I love the white flowers at dusk and into the night.

Lovely scent. This is the plant that's over the roof line. Lost tag. Jean Pasco?

Beautiful pictures Susan. How lucky you are to have blooms outside already. Zone envy here.
I'm afraid your last picture isn't Jean Pasco. JP has a different shape flower, smooth edge leaves and an orange rim.
Here is JP on the left and the two flowers on the right are Tropical Sunset.
JP and TS are very similar.

Nice pictures Susan. I'm having a little zone envy here. Today I just took the last of my brugs outside. It is going to be a long time yet before I have blooms.

Thank you everyone. I shiver at 55 degrees. Gotta stay where it's warm. The brugs seem to love it too. We had snow on Christmas eve. First time it's snowed in Galveston Co. in 110 years. I was afraid the brugs were going to die. It made Christmas really fun this year but I was having a fit watching the snow flakes fall on my tropical garden. Amazing nothing took a hit except the bananas.
