New to Brugmansia growing. I have three of them and am very impressed with their very broad green leaves and huge beautiful yet very delicate flowers. Pictured here is the first bloom of my "Cherub." It is about 10" long.
My Very First Brug!
Another angle of my "Cherub."
isn't it an incredible experience to have a first brug bloom. i had mine after havung it for almost 3 yrs!
This one is "Cassie's Curls." A real pretty yellow. I have two Cassie Curls and one "Cherub" and all are beautiful.
What 3 lovely girls you have there. Congraulations. Isn't it a blast?
Can't wait to see them in full bloom. I have seen pictures of them in full bloom with twenty or more flowers.
We all want to see the little girls all decked, so take lots and lots of pictures.
Thank you. I will do just that. I'm like a proud Poppa showing off his newborn.
You SHOULD be proud. You've done a great job. Welcome to the world of Brugmansia addiction! LOL!
yeah addiction is right.....................lol
There's no turning back now! Welcome to our crazy world.
Do tell about her fragrance.. They are beauties!
Jeeeeezzzz!! I never thought to sniff it? To late tonight. Have to wait till morning. Didn't know that Brugs have a fragrance? Another added bonus!
well the thing is that they are only fragrant at night, so if i were you i'd sniff that thang ASAP! lol
Yes, your neighbors will be like mine and think you are a real looney tunes when you take a flashlight out at night and just keep smelling and going ahhhhhh. LOL

Go now!!!!!
Tplant - run fast! run fast! :)
maybe he already did, and is too busy sniffing to check the computer.........
Yep, I think you're right. I think he's sniffin'.
Good Glory! We are such enablers here, aren't we...Sending a poor newbie out with a flashlight just because we do it...! LOL!
And TPlant...I must say that I can't get past your 'hip hop' screenname...Love it.

Yep! I was out there for an hour or so last night admiring and sniffin my flower. Thank goodness none of the neighbors were out or they might have thought I was trying to get high? Wonder how I'm going to handle the situation when she has a dozen or so flowers??????? Have to get to a doctors appointment now but I'lllllll beeeeee baaaaaccccckkkkkk!!!!!!
they are lovely great pictures.
Congratulations Tplant ! your brugs are lovely. I love it when they bloom a full flush and the entire back yard smells like perfume. My husband tried to convince me a couple weeks ago, that I needed to figure out how to get the fragrance out of the brug to market it and make a perfume. Of course I just laughed at him, but it is such a nice frangrance on a warm evening.
I'm having withdrawal symptoms, no flowers now. Good thing I have a dat. that is getting ready to bloom so I can at least sniff something (it's good, but not quite the same, huh?)
my poor dogs think they've lost their jobs, I'm the one sniffing late at night not them and my neighbor did call me asking if I was trying to get high. Invited her over to try a whiff when my were blooming. Now she can't wait for me to cut mine. I promised her a cutting.
My job is done, another one bites the dust and is hooked. Yippee!.
This is supposed to be "Cassie's Curls" but I think it is a "Cherub" instead. I bought them from Parks Seed in 3" pots. Must have been a mistake on their part as I still have the original tag on them and it calls for cassie's curls? It's OK by me as they are both very pretty. I am surprised that I have flowers already as the plants are not yet one year old. Whan I recieved them they were only two or three inches tall.
These are my "Cassie's Curls". A big difference in appearence.

Such nice blooms Tplant!! Don't worry.. the neighbors will only stare for a few months.. then as soon as all the whispering is over.. they will just accept that this is what you do. LOL
As long as you don't do something really stupid like climb on the roof and sing to the moon, or walk around with a bloom taped to your face... they will get over it. LOL
Ya, they'll stare only for a few months... then winter comes along.. they'll stop staring. Then when spring arrives, you'll bet they'll have their binoculars dangling around their necks again. ;-)
