The trick with these is to know which night they are going to bloom and then remember to stay up late enough to see the show. The next morning is tooooo late!

Our friend, Clyde Cannon, gave us this start from his brugmansia about four years ago. Mary's Gardeners frequently exchange plants from their own gardens with each other and if historically appropriate, bring starts to Mary's Garden.
