I happened to look out the window today and saw a few Brugmansias trying to open. I just had to open the side of the hoophouse. I'm so glad I did. I'm fairly sure this is Eternity in a big pot with three main branches. It was the last thing to stuff in before the freeze. I just didn't have the heart to chop it down. I didn't count the buds and blooms, but will try to before I close it up this afternoon. They're white and yellow now. With a little sunshine, maybe they'll color up to pink later today.

The Eternity you sent me is still doing that. Makes the garage smell really nice in the morning. All the scent gets trapped inside, I guess. I'm still planning to chop it back and try to get some rooted cuttings to give to a couple of relatives. I just haven't done it yet.

I chopped a lot of mine back before the freeze. Here's a few pics I just took. Our cleaning lady wants the ones in the breakfast room out before she gets back. "They drop leeeeves and make a mess!"




The other cuttings are in four milk crates in the little greenhouse.

She is correct!! Get those things outta there . She might decide to put some in your salad .

They're all rooted already. I just need to find time to pot them up. The ones in the big hoop are still white. Not sure if it's because of the lack of sun, or the cold (today has been beautiful, tho).

So your saying the lady you pay to clean, doesn't want to have anything to actually clean?

Hey, I get up early when she's coming so I can pick up everything before she gets here. I don't want her telling anyone how messy I am!

I got brugs, too. And about 10 more "bloomers" as my bff's grandson calls them. I contemplated cutting them back. Sure glad I didn't. They didn't freeze! Lol. I do the same before my cleaning lady comes! She confessed she cleans for some really dirty people/houses. I don't want her to think I'm one of "those"!
