The Brugmansia are looking good. They have grown well and their big trumpet shaped flowers are best in the early evening when they open and display their beautiful shape.
The white plant now with lots of flowers.
The flowers have an almost waxy look to them.
The pink is starting to catch up with the white.
Look at the gorgeous pink, warming the edge of the flower , i do love the way the pink is deep at the edge then fades into the flower centre.
Hopefully we will be able to keep them through the winter, now they are so much bigger it's going to be hard fitting everything into the greenhouse.
But we do have plans to build temporary structure to protect some of the large plants , like the Lemon tree, that should keep off the cold and frost.

I particularly love the white version.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I can never grow any plants/shrubs/trees if they need greenhouse Winter storage.
I love the pink one and the white. Paul loves to fill the greenhouse until he can barely get through the door!
DeleteThis year we are going to have to build a little shelter to the side of the greenhouse and the shed, so he can shelter some of the larger plants and hopefully still manage to get into the greenhouse!! :)
Dee we have a plant that is very like this in our garden in Estepa, the white version, and we were told it's poisonous, so we have pulled it up in case the dogs were to eat any of it......it does keep coming up though. Do you know if the plant you have is poisonous too? Or is ours just very similar to this but not a Brugmansia?

It is a toxic plant, so the one you have could be of the same family, so if your dogs chew on plant it's best to pull it up. :)xx
DeleteThanks for that Dee, I thought it might be the same or the same family.
DeleteWe do tend to pull it up but it must have deep roots as it seems to keep coming back. We have already got rid of the Laurel, the Grape Vines and the Oleander as all of those are toxic to dogs too...and the Oleander to us humans too! There's a never ending list!
