Re: Brugmansia Update

Good point. And I have no idea; wouldn't surprise me if it walked. But I suspect that until it blooms, it will stay put or if it goes, it will be dumped for the pot. As you know, brugs are not especially handsome plants when not in bloom. And I don't think they're rare enough or costly enough here to be the object of plant theft.

Meantime, we have all the rest of them in gallon cans in the lathhouse--1.5 feet to 2 feet in height. We planted some of them one cutting to a pot and some two cuttings to a pot, the number depending on the vigor of the cuttings after rooting. This week or next I need to move them out of the lathhouse to harden them off, which in this case means getting them used to both more sun and more cold weather.

Jim, do you really think a potted plant is going to stay there and not
develop feet to another garden? Hum...

Mine are growing slowly. All but one made it, so I am thrilled!

Very cool.  I look forward to seeing the pictures.  Mine are still
vigorously growing in water.  I just keep forgetting to plant them in
pots.

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.
