Rosalie..Pretty in Pink!

This is Rosalie, a single pink bred by a lady called Herta Blin way back in the early nineties!

When I first became interested in Brugmansias, and specifically the Aurea species this one was on my hit list. She wasn't easy to find but my good friend Carol managed to source one from  Germany , and I've treasured and grown it every year since. 



It's got that almost arrogant but elegant poise, great colour and a set of very nice long tendrils, or twangers as they are known in certain Brugmansia circles. It's also blessed with a very strong almost almond/baby powder scent, that draws you back for repeated sniffs of an evening. 

For me it's a beautifully exotic hybrid, hope you like it too!
