Brugmansia 2014

Every tuesday on wheelie bin day,i use chicken poop liquid feed ive made up my self but i have give them tomato feed at times,wayne said they like molasses aswell but ive not give them any yet this yr x

 

Some nice fat buds coming

 

There seems to be a rapid turn over of leaves on my sanguinea with spotting followed by yellowing and dropping off. Anyone else have this problem?

 

Not seen the spotting before Strongy, but I always found lower leaf loss a problem at this time of the year, they just dont like heat.
Come autumn with cool nights and heavy dew, and then they are happy.

 

I know you know all this already clive,but i did'nt until i just googled your spots,so if its helpful here goes

I lose leaves as you describe, but without the spotting.

 

Thanks Joolz, it's possibly Blight or similar. If it gets worse it'll be binned (or burnt). I'll have to keep an eye on the other two.
Temperature wise we have only had two days over 22c this year so not particularly hot.

 

@strongylodon - I just noticed the leaf curl that yours is suffering. Mine certainly has none of that either. The exact opposite in fact - they are floppy a lot of the time when it's too warm.

 

Cant you just remove the leaves affected,move it to a differant area of the garden or is it planted?
I would be moving around to suit but im home mostly,i love the sanguinea,i hope you can save it xx

 

Whey hey ... I've just picked my first two pods off B 'Charles Grimaldi' and I didn't even know they were there ... What strange seeds they are as well and what a palavra to soak and unpeel them (according to the BGI) and no telling what you'll eventually get. I've no requirement for them so if anyone is interested, please let me know.

 

My first flower has opened today and the smell

 

We're in midwinter here but one of my 'Moonflowers' has flowered,it's around 18feet.

 

That is plain showing off!!!!!

 

"plain" showing off? - are you talking it Up or Not?

 

I'm green with envy - aren't you!!
