r/brugmansia

update on my brugmansias, both of my plants are blooming in sync so today was really spectacular. mix of day and dusk shots, this was the first day of multiple blooms with more yet to open on both. bees were going nuts before sundown which was nice to see!

the smell of dozens of fresh flowers at once is indescribable, its soooo good!!

feeling very satisfied with my gals tonight! hopefully I will have time for a third flush of flowers before the first frost this year, I cant even imagine how many blooms that will bring lol

Finally, two Cold Group Brugmansias blooming at the same time; as they will not self-fertilize(and I know of no one who will loan me a Peruvian Spoon-Billed Hummingbird) I will be doing the x-pollinating myself. An OnlyFans video is unlikely.

With some good fortune, there should be two varieties of seed, one from each motherfather. The resulting color/shape from the seeds is anyone's guess.

Just flexing my Bruggies here, because i feel like it. They are absolutely thriving.

buds are setting up very nicely for the second flush of the year on my brugmansias. started from a seedling last year so by the end of the season late october (zone 6b) the entire plant was nowhere close to where it is now.

the pictures plant grew from a cutting over the winter, it formed a shrub-like structure with 6 main stems instead of one main central stem, about 6 ft tall at its peak including the planter. Not pictured is last year's main stem that I overwintered which is also setting up some nice buds at around 8 feet tall. both of them have at least 2 dozen buds so i am super excited for blooming time!!

will update when the big show occurs, and will definitely post my final flush if i can get another big one in ~2 months

What is happening to the leaves?

My plants are too young to flower so I wanted to make a crochet version just because I love it. It was hellish to make 🥀 but she came out beautiful, with some mistakes but still pretty (still need to weave the ends but I don't have a needle 🫩)
