woooooow!!!
that is just amazing!!
your plants are getting better and better!!!

Oh yes...What a beauty Meanie....:>)

yes that's very nice Meanie..

Thank you Sticki, Surreylad and Motinot!

Such an incredible photo! Meanie, like I've always said: you are quite the photographer!

Thanks Delonix!

Does Iochroma fuchsioides grow there?

I'm sure that it can be grown here..........

Thats lovely and what a colour.

Thanks 6d!
It's in the same family as Brugmansia and Datura.

I thought it was very simular is nt it. :o))

Very similar indeed - lacks the fragrance though.

What a shame

Like this one a lot! :o)

I've been trying to get seeds from it, but no joy so far PA.

I should have said: Is Iochroma fuchsioides available for sale at your nurseries, there?

A quick search came up with zilch............

Meanie:

That's surprising! This plant is really good in cooler summer climates (It's still really tender to frost, though). I've seen many growing in the fog belts of the coastal San Francisco Bay Area.

Very beautiful Meanie...love the colour. At first I thought perhaps a relative of Solanum...but I see the comments above re. Datura and that makes sense....beautiful!

I'm still looking Delonix - no joy yet........

It is a member of the Solanaceae family Karen, the same as Datura.

Ah! There you go then! :)) Thanks.
