Brugmansia 'Daydreams'

 A profusion of blooms.

in double (frilly, no less!) salmon pink.

The only "teensy" drawback ~

this bountiful, spectacular display is all happening in the garage!

Every time I get a Brugmansia, I swear it's the LAST time because they bloom SO darn late.

At least for me.

'Daydreams' was my "one last time" ~ enticed by the prospect of double trumpets.

*sigh*  It would have been spectacular in the garden, don't you agree??

Oh well, I will definitely overwinter it in the garage and try again next year (with this one ~ no more new purchases!)  

Oh, btw, it's blooming in the garage because the day before Thanksgiving, daytime highs went from 60 to the teen's.

On top of the temperature drop, Fall took a decided plunge into Winter with the first snowfall of the season.

Thankfully, not much snow.  Just enough to cover everything in a blanket of white.

Accompanying the snow, something else making the garden a little less friendly!

That seals the season, it's officially over.  

I didn't even have time to stress about it tho since I was too busy preparing for Thanksgiving.  

Above:  the only photo of took of our table/the holiday.  Although the next morning, I snapped one of the turkey centerpiece (with better lighting):

Now on to Christmas...  

Is it just me, or are the months passing especially swift this year???

I'm not a huge Brugmansia fan, but you make them look gorgeous! LOL--it's blooming in the garage. Oh well, that's obviously a great studio for your amazing photography! Glad to hear you had a pleasant Thanksgiving. Our weather has been similar to yours so far this season. Happy December!

I can't believe your Brug is blooming so much in the garage. Amazing. Have you thought of bringing it into your bathroom area, or is it too big? The color is beautiful - we do love our salmon flowers, don't we! (By the way I bought a huge salmon Poinsettia today at work!) Love your Thanksgiving pics too.

I'm with you, super late bloomers are not worth it. And how on earth are you getting that to bloom in a dark and chilly garage?
