Re: Brugmansia(Datura)Angel`s Trumpet-I`m new-Amaryllis seeds

Scott,
This is my first year growing Brugmansia, but I do have white ones started
that I would be willing to save seed from for you. Will they even flower
this year? I started all mine from seed. I have blue, yellow, and white I
think.
Linda
