I Got Lucky!

Lack of space in the shed last autumn meant tough choices so I found a new home for my Brugmansia sanguinea ( http://bit.ly/1awg0y6 ). Unfortunately it was never collected and it sat outdoors all winter exposed to the elements. When I went to chuck it in the compost last week I saw this new shoot!

DD - it's a cool bloomer. Last year was great for them and mine bloomed like boogery. Give it a little extra shade and see if that helps, but I reckon this year may be a struggle with this one.

Ok thanks for that, I will move it to a cold area, (ha ha) of the garden, if there is room for both of us!! and what about water etc?

Water and feed well, deep into autumn (best time for blooms this year I reckon).
