Re: Wow - brug

that's an idea. In fact, the woman who gave me this one is giving me two more she had left over to put in the sale. Maybe one of the 3 will have a flower next month for the sale. I do most softwood cutings in early June; sound like a good time for the brug too?

Well you could try to chop it back. It's kind of an ungainly plant so
shaping is pretty much out of the question. The good news is cuttings
root really easily [Marge sent me a bunch of them once and they all
rooted] so if you whack it back, and pot up the carnage you could had
a lot of plants for your plant sale... and I guarantee if you had one
in bloom, the rest would sell muy pronto.

The last of the buds fell off, All that's left is the one big open
flower. I expect it will put out more buds that will hang on this
summer.  If I could keep it small enough, I might keep it over one
year to enjoy it and then sell it next year.  It's a real trooper,
so I kinda hate to part with it.

Brugmansia seem to like cooler weather.  Mine only blooms really
well from
fall through Spring, and really slows down in the heat of  summer.
They really
seem to adapt well to cooler climates, some species  won't even
grow in hot
climates, as well as a lot of the new hybrids that are  coming out
of Europe.
I've tried numerous times, as have others, to grow  some of these,
without
success.  So I think you should hold on to it too,
Kitty......might actually
really be worth the effort.

A friend  gave me a start from her Brugmansia last year.  I potted
it on to a

larger size when I grought it in to the garage for the fall. I had no
intention of keeping it as they get so huge and I do not intend to
do the
dragging every year, so it is going in my plant sale next month.
Guess,
what....the darned thing is blooming!  In the cold  garage!
