This beautiful flower is blooming in Mom and Dad's Wellington, Florida, garden now. In the evening the flower's scent is intoxicating. Brugmansia love warm, humid days, and cool nights. 80-85 for daytime highs and no less than 40 degree nights is ideal. They will grow in planting zones 7-11. It is a fast growing plant that looks best in the middle of other vegetation. Mom & Dad have it planted near their hibiscus hedge. It propogates easily from cuttings. One word of caution - don't eat this plant - its highly poisonous.

So pretty! Don't let Emily near it - that dog will eat anything.
I have eaten at Fullers when I lived in Fayetteville, NC. The food is excellent and the service is good too. We need one of these restaurants in London, where I live now. Everything in there tastes delicious.
