    These pics were taken over 4 days. The angels knew how to blow their horn. All are of same plant. Notice the color changes. And the scent is heavenly also.

    No Koszta they do not. I think the flowers are to deep for them. They fly upto the blooms but will not go inside.

    Donna, Those are way huge and beautiful. Mine is in a pot, maybe I ought to plant it in the ground and take a few cuttings in the Fall to continue it next year.....Not nearly that size at all.

    Gorgeous, Donna!!! Brugmansia are my favorite plants! Hve you ever visited the Karchesky site? It can keep me entranced for hours. I love looking at all their cultivars! http://www.karcheskycanna.com/
