A week in the life of a Brugmansia Bloom

wow its huge maureen, well done, can you not fit it in greenhouse with flowers so they all open or is it to big to go in there as it is? i love these plants to, see lots on holidays :o))

Milky, i not no how to ten thees in uk but i do no they like cloud wash over htem. Do you spray yors wiht water?
I see you gorw Frangipani- was htis fro seed you colect?

What a super plant Maureen. May only be one flower, but it's beautiful.

One is better than none Milky, And its a beaut so well done to you ;) ive gave up on mine (cut it down) and the Datura, Plenty buds but they dropped off :((
One Day Milky One Day lol..

I love the way the edges of the flower darken as it ages.

Thanks all.....Sanbaz its too tall for the greenhouse unfortunately Derekf....Yes I do spray during warm weather. The Frangipani I have grown from seed, was bought from Thompson and Morgan.....Young Daisy....you got to keep trying, This is outside our back door at the moment, and the perfume in the evening is unbelievable.......Claireinbude..Yes when they 1st appear out of the pod they are green, but start to change colour to pink a day or so later and gradually get deeper.....

You've done so well with it Maureen. I would put it in the house, in the hall, lol.
Even nicer to see your smiling face.

Yes it's really nice and Milky's smiling face adds extra spice doesn't it!

Great you had one bloom at least Maureen. Nice to see you in the photo :o)

well done u...its lovely Milky...you could use it as your christmas tree...lol

Thanks all...Sandra it hasnt got enough branches to use as a Christmas tree ha ha. Im just pleased it made one flower.....Lol

My goodness Milky its huge, how on earth are you going to move that. Its a georgous shade of pink and congratulations for your first bloom wonderful and such a lovely display at the bottom of the pot.

It reminds me of Jack and the bean stalk lol, so you will have to send Ray to climb it and get hen that lays the golden eggs, and pot of gold lol hehe

very pretty.

What a lovely looking plant Maureen. Very healthy. I love the bloom and so big too. Wow.
I haven't tried Brugs yet. They seem to suffer from spider mite badly here due to the lack of humidity so I'm hesitant to give it a go.

Milky - good on you wiht Frangipani- i hav extensiv experence wiht them,so plees ask if need help.

Thanks all for you lovely comments.......

It looks fantastic Milky hope you get to see it flower.
Where can you get these from ? Any where or specialist gcs and do they need any special treatment i want to give them a go next year .....Thanks Mushy..

Mushy, this origianally came from T&M's, but I would presume this if you googled it then you should come up with a few retailers. I am going to try to take some cuttings next year as Lindak suggested that she was reasonably successful with them...

Just found this Milky what an amazing plant, we are attempting to grow some this year!! not sure what to expect now?

They are easy Dotty.....Just plenty of water and regular feeding, but they do grow huge........and then need over wintering in a frost free place.....

But you do cut them down in the winter dont you ? you are not going to tell me you have to keep a plant that size all winter, indoors Milky?

Yes Dotty cut it back as low as you can......

Thank goodness for that, I am being a bit previous here, the seeds have not germinated yet....lol

Lol Dotty
