B. Sang. karma

She is a blooming earlier this year due to our cooler and damper weather. This past weekend is when we just moved out the tropical plants as the weather has
been this bad. At least the corn is a foot tall and not the 4" it was last 4th of July!

Sorry Angel3K I didn't catch this until now. These are Brugmansia, a member of the Solanaceae family. This variety is in the cooler group of Brugmansia and known as Sanguinea, which are also know to some as the Mountain growers. These do not take the heat and humidity but this one 'karma' which was a gift of seeds from a friend south of the boarder seems to be able to take them both with little wilting. If you Google Brugmansia, you can find tons of information.
