0 Strontium Dawg Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi thoughts, it's definitely a brugmansia. Hard to tell from the photos but possibly b.candida "old apricot". I love me brugs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 kgrens Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yeah nice Brugmansia, I was thinking "old apricot" also .. If u take a cutting and put it in water or soil and keep it moist it might grow roots, there usually not hard to grow from cuttings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Flux Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 A gorgeous plant, powerful and mysterious but gentle and wise when treated carefully. Try picking a flower and placing it next to your bedside at night and see how your dreams change http://entheology.com/plants/brugmansia-aurea-golden-angels-trumpet/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 thoughts Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks guys I'll try that! I've not had much experience with this plant before and it seems like a lot of research is needed before hand... I'll root a few cuttings and maybe I can send a few out to other members if anyone is interested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Strontium Dawg Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I find a good deep sniff with your nose in a flower is enough brug power for me. Careful you don't snort up a bunch of pollen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 immanuel Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) It can take many years of simple working, such as with the seeds in the garden to develop a bond with this plant or as it grows. I have not come across the seeds myself, but I have always had this particular plant present in my life and I imagine they (seeds) are not much bigger than a fingernail. This is the approach and patience needed in my opinion otherwise is dangerous. Edited November 6, 2017 by manu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
