My silly, basement-banished brugmansia has just a few leaves that are only as long as my fingers... and yet it somehow mustered up the energy to kick out TWO blooms that are as long as my forearm!
Needless to say, I plucked them both very gently and will be on the lookout for any more that decide to appear before the brug makes its way back outside for the summer, in order to nip them at the bud stage.
Right now, though, I am enjoying their sweet, delicious smell as they sit perched among the houseplants in my dining room. Their perfume is no small tease on a very cold weekend in late March!

Well for goodness sakes. What a delightful surprise! I can almost smell it. Doesn't it get your blood to boiling about spring?
imaging your surprise and smiling, smiling, smiling
What a happy laundry surprise!!
Neither of my brugmansias bloomed last year so I'm extra jealous! Doesn't it make you wonder what triggered the flowers, Blackswamp Kim? Enjoy the scent!

Now that's a treat Kim! Happy Spring. gail
Mine have been blooming off and on in the conservatory, but have kicked it up a notch recently, no doubt because of the longer daylight hours. In the evenings when I go out there, WOW...the fragrance is so wonderful!
Surprises are a delight as I hope will be your spring. Happy April, dear Kim :)
