My Brug - that FB brought over recently - as a small seedling - is flourishing - I will be a bit unhappy tho if it is yellow as I want a pink one <stampfeet> Some of you may remember  that the last two Brugs FB gave to me died - nothing I did honestly - well maybe forgot to bring them in during the frosty weather It is such a responsibility as he will NEVER forgive me if anything happened to this one Treats them like babies he does  |

If you use a granular/powdered feed it still needs measuring and it will still need watering in  |

My Grandma used to sprinkle white bonemeal around her plants and her garden was bootiful - of course there has been some bad press about it and maybe it is now a different sort/type I will ONE DAY feed my plants ;D |

Yellow - I have a soft spot for yellow flowers. I have a pink one too, but no flowers on that one ( it is a smaller plant) |

I have bought one of the supposedly "hardy" brugmansias - they have red and yellow ( or orange and yellow ) flowers and it is called centaurena or something similar. I have potted it on and will keep it in a pot in the greenhouse this winter, then I hope to plant it out next spring ( with fingers crossed). I have seen a couple which have grown into small trees but knowing my luck..........................
