THIS LINK BELOW WILL TAKE YOU TO A VERY BRIEF VIDEO OF THE FLOWER, FOR MORE DETAILS GO TO TAB AT THE TOP…..
FASCIATED PINK PANTHER FLOWER.
 ABOVE……..THIS IS MOBISU X VIOLET VELVET I've been growing the 'cold' Brugmansias from seed for 18 months and now that they have started to flower, I can appreciate the beauty of their smaller flowers. I have quite a few still to open. |
The perfume on this cv is really wonderful...
I have crossed Clementine with several cvs that have orange in them, hoping for the brilliant colour without the occasional deformed blooms...

| Maya a variegated Brugmansia |
Below...
Maya is a wonderful plant for pots.
I have 2 in 45cm pots and they have been in them for 3yrs...
It stays small due the the constriction of the roots...but put it into the ground
and it soon reaches 3 metres...
A very pretty plant with a lovely, soft perfume...
At the moment I have 70 seedlings from 30cm up to 2mts, some will flower this year, others will take time and flower when they are tall enough....
One in particular I'm waiting on is (Morgensonne x The Chief) x Bergkönigin it should show a lot of orange, but it could turn out white....we'll see..
It turned out to be a butterscotch colour for it's first season, check out the page on oranges to see it.
