Rhapsody's Brugmansia Row

Whoa!! It's a jungle in there.

If yours grow like mine do, you won't be able to walk along that pathway by the end of the summer. Get ready to prune! (and don't worry, they love to be pruned)

I know. I am sooooo bad when it comes to plants. I have been trying to get them on posts so they will grow like standards. Bought a lot of gray buckets from Lowe's on line. They are 1/4 the price of a 5 gallon pot and they delivered. I handle is such a plus, I just can not believe it. Thought they might get in the way! And just discovered they joys of a paint pen! NO more lost labels. My back yard is FULL of plants. My personal jungle LOL. Now if I could just keep the neighborhood cats out of my yard....

Fantastic, Rhapsody.
It looks gorgeous !!!

Thank you princess. How are your coming along?

Mine are potted in gallon containers, leafed out and about 2 feet tall. They are in fav spot by drive. Brugs don't like my deck, I think their feet get hot and they pout. It has been so cold and rainy, I'm not sure they will bloom this year.

My Pink Beauty is about 5 feet tall and has Ys, so it should bloom.

Thank you so much for being kind and helping me!

Oh my dear you are most welcome. I hope they bloom for you soon. At lest once this year. I was happy to help.
Many Blessings

Brug Pink Perfektion

Such lovelies, Rhaps! You have some really red color on some of those.

Angels' Honeymoon is a really interesting combination. Does that red color fade out to orange as the flowers age?

It must smell amazing in your little jungle garden there with all those flowers blooming.

Good question! I was so excited to see them in bloom I did not do anything but take pictures and sniff. I don't intensify the color. The pictures are they way they were taken. But it seems to me that Angels Inspiration is truly they color you see but Angels Honeymoon is more the color of the top bloom. I will try not to get overly excited next time

I hear ya, both my good camera and my cell phone seem to add red to any bloom. But taking pictures in low light using the flash helps with that.

So maybe go out there in the evening and try some flash pictures to see if the colors in those pics are different? I love them all, and I'd be excited too!

Elaine ~ You are such a big support... I really appreciate it. I might try that evening picture taking thing.

Your Brugs are gorgeous. The ones you traded me are out by my garage and getting new leaves. All made it except the orange one.

I'll have to bring them back in, temps going down to mid 30s again. Prob last time this Spring!

You are so kind.

That is good advice for people living in cool climates. Here, the larger the better and it's probably the same for you.

Honeymoon and Inspiration are stunning!

I am thrilled to hear they are doing well for you. Sucks to have to bring them in and out but it is a labor of love! Do you have any pictures yet?

Yep, our long cold snap was unusual, but last night was the end of it.
They are just getting leaves again. Here is my sad picture compared to yours.
They are ready for larger pots now.
There are 2 more still in basement under grow lights.

They will do great, all they need is some sunshine, just do not let them have too much all at once.

Oh no! They all start off as frogs and turn into swans... They are perfect and loved.
