Re: Brugmansia Update

Well Jim
My cuttings from Marge are still sitting in water with long roots and nice new growth. I'll just have to wait for warmer weather, probably April, to plant them in a protected spot.

Subject: [CHAT] Brugmansia Update


We planted one of the plants grown from Marge's cuttings--a vigorous pink-flowered one--at Ms Fatma's school on Thursday. There is a little island with a flagpole right where parents deposit and retrieve their children; we planted the Brugmansia in a large [18-inch] clay pot in front of the flagpole, with the notion that when it outgrows the pot, we'll plant it right there in the ground.

It should flower this spring; when it does, I'll take pictures.
