I like them too.
Could you cast one of those giant flowers in wax?

I would describe it as a very pleasant sweet floral peachy smell. It’s hardly noticeable during the day and gets stronger as the sun sets. Also no deer around here, though I haven’t noticed any animals take an interest in it.

Good old Nick, getting them brugs ready for a show
I do believe that all mine bit the dust. This is the first year that I didn't mulch them, and they all froze solid

I've germinated this Brugmansia Arborea (or so i think) about 4 years ago now. Every fall i have to cut it back, burry it up, and over-winter it in the basement. As soon as the weather allows it goes back outside in full soil in the garden. Although the stem has become quite a unit and the plant grows bigger every summer, i have yet to see it flower. Kind of a shame, as it is a bit of its selling point imo. Anyone any idea how i could stimulate flowering? The plant itself receives ample sun, water and nutrients. Its quite bushy and around 1.5 - 2 m high.

Thanks!

That looks like a Datura species to me, probably stramonium. Either way, it looks healthy and I'm surprised it hasn't bloomed yet at that size...that's strange. Maybe try giving it less Nitrogen and more K, P, and Ca?

hmm im quite sure its a brugmansia tho! I've grown datura species before aswel, and they were way more "herby". All of them were also annuals/perannuals. non of them developed this tree like trunk. And i got the seeds from a passionate and reputible vendor. But then again, could be wrong. What makes you think its a datura?
I actually added phosphorus rich nutrients today! hope that does something. Do you know what triggers the flowering process? is it daylenght? or something completely else.

The leaves look datura, but I'm always open to being wrong.
Hopefully you get some flowers this year. I'm not sure exactly what triggers flowering, it's been awhile since I've had a brug tbh. The one I had that flowered nicely years ago seemed to do it when the night temps dropped some, but that may have just coincided with the age of the plant being right, idk.

dang thats a cool one. maybe it needs more light to flower? it looks like a very shady spot. they all seem bloom sporadically until they get tree sized-shaped. remember hearing that cutting taken below the Y wont flower until they Y maybe keeping it alive over winter or waking it up a little earlier inside would get it to bloom. ..

The mother Burgmansia tree hasn't flowered yet. Even though it's getting into late Spring here. A couple of months ago It was showing signs of chlorosis again. Though I've pruned, fed it & it looks a lot better now. There's not much else I can do, I'm sure it's just getting older at this point. While pruning there were a couple of the dead branches which housed ant colonies, or millipedes & pill bugs just chillin. Hope to see some flowers on this tree soon. 

Thankfully the only successful cutting from a while ago is begining to flower again.
