Plantqueen, I've got 2 started. I've watched people post on here about starting new ones from roots. When mine get established and I can figure out how to do it, I'll send you a starter. I'll have to post a picture of mine and see what kind I've got when they bloom.

That would be great bestofour! Thank you so much! You just let me know when they are far enough along to send me a starter! I can send a SASE! Thank you again!

Oh Mannn I'm having major problems with my starts! they were once looking great as long as I could get them out side on nice days .., but since they have been in the house for a few weeks they are dropping leaves like crazy. Some are totally leaveless while others have new growth along the stem but the leaves on those are dropping too!!! I wonder once it gets nice out and and I can place them outside if they will revive themselfs again!

I am planning on purchasing a yellow colored angel trumpet to put in my mother's memorial garden this Spring. Her garden will be "helen" themed plants with angels. Since her favorite color was yellow, I think a yellow angel trumpet will be fitting, too...

Njoynit, if you have any left I would pay postage for some also!

Awesome , PM me and let me know! Do you think they'd ship okay---it's so frigidly cold right now? Was just wondering if they'd make it right now.
I want one so bad I can't stand it!

Plantqueen.PM me your address so I can look you up for postage.you'll both have 3 kinds.Dr Suess/unknown pink& frosty pink.Dr Suess are skinny& are also trunks cause they didn't bloom last year.
Amy.Brugs would be happy in your yard& they smell great at night.I'm sorry the new Vista hasn't found a 'scent' chip availeable in our computers.We can always SUE Bill Gates for that screw up.........

I noticed a few of the cuttings....are getting buds...........I only looked at one jug.I moved my brug cuttings outdoors for 2 days& now moved them back in(thats a 22 minute trip of relocateing those cuttings back) I see a few of them that had 'y'd have buds forming.

They are about the same they just look sad , they need some sunshine for sure I'm sick of this weather! I'm pretty confident they wiil perk up once I get them outside!
Because we have simular weather, do you recommend full sun or part sun/shade AND do you recommend they revive in the pots they are in by setting outside for a few weeks BEFORE going in ground ( once the weather warms and hold steady)? AND when I do put them in the ground should I fertilize with 20-20-20 when I plant in?? Spring is coming so get ready for many many questions from us all!!

Sibyl yours will do good in full sun.Its not as warm as mine.I'll have some of mine in pots so can line my sidewalk(so can move the plants when us rednecks drive in the yard....)
Angel.some do better than others in full sun in TX& do better with lower leaves stripped up to the 'Y'.I fertilize& root start mine in ground day of planting& strip all leaves so adjusts better.sometimes I might have to shade one a week or so with a chair when 1st set out or can set pot in location and move back& forth till adjusted light wise.also watch when Carrie sets hers out.She's closest to your weather.You can mulch your roots end of May.soil will be warmed then& they'll wilt a lil less.
Here's my recent shots
Maya X versicolor peach seedlings.all duds all albino's Daydreams cutting has 'Y'd and has 3 buds forming Monika has 'Y'd and has buds forming Seedling box mostly(6) U conn treasure X Mountain Magic & Versicolor Peach X mountain magic(4) and 1 KBS X supernova& 2 kumquat seedlings Curled leafs on Uconn trasre X MM seedling Laundry room today..........

Thanks njoynit!! I will get hold of Carrie so she will notify me when she sets out!! Some of them will go in ground and others will go in large pots so I too can move around My back yard is mostly sunny except for one side that gets morning sun and afternoon shade,..
Oh Oh thanks for the info' on stipping the leaves to the Y when going in ground!!

I have an overgrown child...He sometimes RIDES the 3 wheeler in the yard.I bet He THOUGHT He was gonna die when riding 3 wheeler up ramp and on top of a Brugmansia pot last year.....I was running across the yard with a shovel....ready to swing....tossed my beer at him instead.
I've ALSO used the red 3 wheeler as a plant stand before....It WAS parked on the deck.It was just perfect.
They'd probably like the morning sun afternoon shade.Pots will dry out faster.I'll learn just how fast this season.
Plantqueen.I'm still watching.I only got 1 single piece of mail yesterday.....so maybe a boxful today.

I bought a Satsuma Seto yesterday for hubbys Valentine's Day gift((See what ya get when ya get me a grandfatherclock.......))I wish I had another $30 to get the milo also.The other was a mr graham. here's info I found http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/patiocitrus/varieties.html

The rest are on the railing...I've not unloaded those yet.I been fishing alot lately.Caught 3 yesterday then 18 crappie last night.I'm tired.I only got online to keep myself awake till time to go to the bus stop.......which I almost sleept through this morning.I moved VERY fast this morning,in a short amount of time.

The tall one is 6 ft 4 inches seedling Butterfly X Whiskers.I like it.It smells good and the flowers get a waxy look to them.Blooms good too.And it has 2 small buds forming (and the white thing in its pot....its a blown light bulb...its helping keep the trunk erict.Its nice out today.Its 74,but too breezy for fishing............BUT I bought a pair of new slip bobbers,some crappie jigs& more swivels(swivels are bait changers ya hook N unhook...beats tieing all the time& helps me keep from tangling my line as much.)and some larger claw hooks that are stronger.I'm still mad about about that large crappie.He was big enough to bend my hook stright.

so are you going to grow in pots or in ground?you'll have to bring yours in for the winter....or could cut the trunk and re root the whole trunk and winterize that way.you'll love them.They are fragrant at night time& you can sit outdoors sipping a beer watching them change and you may get hwak moths
