Pixie Hat Outlet?

News flash, I visited my friend’s yard yesterday on invite, and I think I found where the pixies get their hats… this just added – it’s an angel trumpet (yes to the brugmansia)
She has two beautiful bushes that are just bragging on their fertility. Alas, I’ve tried for three years, and some invisible bug eats the leaves before they even bud. Here’s the bush:
After being totally enchanted, we toured the rest of the garden, and I think you’ll find these interesting:
The tiny pink is a “hummingbird plant” and the green spikey plant beside it is a “Mexican petunia” which she had just thinned out and sent me home with a bunch. And, of course, last time, I promise… red lantana!

thanks Hywel. I don't know what they'll look like in bloom, but I think they will make a nice border for my cactus corner in the Spring - already have them in the ground! %>
