Brugmansia



I
I bought a white bottom facing brugmansia a few years ago with the intention of wintering it over in the sunroom. Alas, I could not make it happy and it withered by late February. Never doing that again, thought I. However, in late spring its offspring popped up all over the garden and by late June giant plants flooded a rather tame mostly indigenous garden. Except the flowers this time around were facing up, plants themselves not too beautiful, obviously self seeded in less than optimal conditions. This year I tried transplanting the rogues to the front garden and leaving them to their own devices for a month while traveling.
