Variegated Brugmansia - Snowbanks

This is my first attempt growing brugmansias and have been very happy with the experience so far. I am growing Rosamond (5-6 feet) and also Snowbanks (3-4 feet). The Rosamond has bloomed profusely but I am still waiting for the Snowbanks to bloom as you can see in the picture. I am aware there are several brugs with variegated leaves but I didn't know they could have a variegated flower pod. Cool! Is this common with other variegated brugs?

I know before I ask the question, that the answer will be all of them :~), but which brugs should I consider once the addition takes a stronger hold?

WOW!!! Your Snowbanks is sure pretty. So healthy!!! And some find that one a hard one to make happy. WELCOME!! You will want them all. LOL

Snowbanks is a lovely brug but its going to be the death of me....Mine is 3 years old and at the beginning of summer it was looking like a palm tree..I repotted it and pushed the fertilizer on it...it now is very lush but did it bloom?..nope...I think as the season winds down Im seeing another Y and maybe some tiny buds...it will never bloom this season since its going into the breezeway in a little while...I wont gve up but try it again next spring...
Welcome to the forum and find a Maya..it is very easy to grow and a lovely variegated brug....Judy

I bought one last spring & it promptly died, that has been my whole experience with Snowbank! So what ever it is that you are doing with that Brug, keep doing it! It's beautiful!
Guess I'll be on the lookout for Maya! I love the Variegated look.

I have heard that it can be difficult....so keeping fingers crossed! :~) One of the flowers bloomed tonight so I bring to you the very lemony scented (pleasantly so) B. Snowbanks.

Another shot.

Thats wonderful that snowbanks bloomed for you...I checked mine today and it Yed again and there are some teeny tiny buds coming..they wont even get to be a little bigger since its going to freeze soon...oh well anything year bites the dust..Judy
