    Growing brugmansia is my number one passion, although I grow pretty much everything including vegetables and other few plants. Here is some pictures of mine.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Hope you all like my pictures.

      Lovely Cb2012. Can I ask what the name of the first one is in the picture, with the smaller purple flowers?

      Thanks.

      Lovely cb. What's no 3. Is it Iochroma fuchsioides ? I tried to grow some this year from seed - but none germinated. But I was successful with three different Iochroma cyanea.

      It was level as "Red lochromas" when I bought it couple years ago PeterS.
      This is the first time it blooms and it is very red. It has developing seeds though and if it continues to grow you all more than welcome to have it when it gets mature and ripe.
      I have a greenhouse so I can keep them growing(I hope).

      Hi catztail, the blue and red cluster small flowers are lochromas and not scented but the rest are brugs and are fragrant.

      cb - that's a very kind offer about seeds of your red Iochroma. I would be very interested. Can you tell us a bit more about yourself please, what you grow and where you live. Even in the UK the climate makes quite a difference to what people grow.

      Dave, I believe you are referring "Day Dreams" brugmansia. I have her for few years now.
