    This was sent to me last year as a cutting from a friend in South Carolina. I left it in a pot and put it in the plant shelter last winter. This spring I put it in the ground and this is the result:

    I will be sure to take plenty of cuttings before our first frost, next year I will have lots of them blooming.

    I bought about 4 of those last spring and by fall all died. I guess they didn't like me.

    They love lots of water and usually morning sun.

    That...that...that is so enormously beautiful, C'Belle. It is simply gorgeous. I am so glad that it did well for you. It has has expert care, obviously.
    But how nicely it turned-out. You must be VERY pleased.
    I have two favourites: this one that you have and there is a yellowish-salmony one that I fancy.
    Perhaps if the climate continues to change here, I shall be able to grow them permanently ootside. I sure hope so.
    Anyway...thanks for showing the pic, and well done!

    Oh I'm deeply in love!!! :smt055 What a beauty Sharon. I'm going to try growing some of these (and Datura) now that the greenhouse is up and running. I hope they look as wonderful as yours do. :-D

    Wow! That is so beautiful. Somehow i don't think that will grow in the Arctic. But i can always look at yours! Thank you for sharing that.

    That is the prettiest color Brug that I have ever seen. Around here they are usually yellow . . . (actually I've only seen them in two yards.)

    When you take cutting from them, what is the most
    successful method of getting the cutting to grow?
    I would like to trim mine some but don't want to
    throw the cuttings away.
