Oh yeah,so before I moved to Florida last season,I gave my grandmother two yellow Brugmansia that I couldn't take with me. Well,I went over to her house today,and one of them was as tall as I !
Anyway,this is what type it is,and what amazes me is this is a purely tropical plant that can survive being outdoors here in the winter in zone 7

And here is my cutting,wish it luck!

pretty plant. Those orange ones are my favorite because they do that with their flowers. almost like shelves of flowers, unlike some other species which just spew out flowers all unorganized. very nice plant your mom has, she clearly treats it well. I'm not sure i would call them tropical though. They grow poorly, or at least not as strong, in the hot lowland tropics, but excel in the semi tropics, ie tropical country mountains. here they grow amazingly well in 500-2000m elevations here, but struggle in the sunny hot season in the flat lands. I see them growing in SW BC Canada, and even outdoors but under cover (balcony for example) year round. pretty amazing.

Here's my "big mama", living outside, next a little clone:
. 
She has been attackt by spidermites and lost leaves and all of her immature flowers. I think she's doing well, new shoots and sprouts everywhere around the stem and also a big and one smaller flower are dominant.
.

At the same time one of my Datura is growing another flower. I'm curious which plant is the first to open them.

Wow, that's a nice specimen.
When I got my brugs years ago that was the vision I had, but I've finally accepted that it's not gonna happen. They don't survive the Texas winters, or the intense heat for that matter unless I water them at least every other day. I have one left and I don't know why i'm keeping it alive other than feeling guilty about letting it die.

Had six cuttings of different varieties given to me a month or two back, I managed to kill them all except for this one; the single lowly survivor. Having previously been a stick with one leaf it seems now to be flourishing, fingers crossed. I am told this one is a peach flower.

Still waiting on my seeds to germinate... maybe they are rotten and I have to try again with others.

On January 11th , i stuck some brugmansia sanguniea seeds in a damp paper towel, bagged her up and placed on a heat mat beneath T5 lights. Here's the aftermath , one month later. The seeds came from two different collections , one a strbing(SFBG collection , another collected from a tree in the nieghborhood)
Seeds have very high germination rates, even ones i had given up on , gave me some lovin last night. I've got 5-10 more to plant later on, probually have 100 seedlings because i wasnt expecting them to all survive.
Have some more seeds but am going to germinate datura tonight , using the same paper towel method.

How's everybody;s brugmansia's doing ?
