Brugmansia - Angel's Trumpet


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.

  2. 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.
