Brugmansias

Very true that Pete. I remember something called 'Tumblebug' that was great at annihilating pretty much anything. Those were the days eh?

Oh yes, @Wayne , could you please stop posting all those wonderful pics? It's making me more and more depressed

 

Ive just been out with my torch and found caterpillars on mine Ive squished about 17



I do think its the capsid bug that has chomped my cannas leaves thou

 

@joolz68 , don't your neighbours wonder what's going on with all those flashes in your garden?

Anyway, good spot

 

It's the best time to spot the nasties I find!

 

First of my Brugs to flower this year. The buds just seem to ave appeared from nowhere!

 

Is that B.sanguinea @Coolsox ?

 

It is. Was avert slow starter but is now romping away nicely.

 

Lovely plants, just no sign of flowers yet.

 

Mine was very slow - read this thread!!!

 

Good looking plant roders, should be budding up nicely just before the first frost.

 

I've had a good show of Brugmansias and I thought it was time to share them with you.
Here we go!
