    On another gardening site a lady offered Dr. Suess brugmansia cuttings for postage. She sent four cuttings. Many people start them in water and later plant them in soil. I decided to plant them in soil and skip the water step. I started them May 24. They all started growing immediately. I noticed two buds on one of the plants on August 14. When I came home last night, Dr Seuss was blooming.
