Sally--My Daturas are about 1/4 the size they should be, but one of the purples and now one of the yellows have bloomed. Funny to see them blooming when they are only 16"-18" tall.....Even weirder is that the purple one has ONE fat seed pod it made from it's first bloom.

My Maya did amazingly!!! Totally! You have now seen my pictures--but you also have to realize that it is, by now, in a "small tree" category. Getting a bit too massive for me! I will take end cuttings again--g=but I have to keep it all above the "Y"'s--or they will take forever to bloom.

So--on with some of my August blooms:

Here is my Brazilian Plume flower. I thought it was a gonner this Spring....Had two measly side-branches alive....They did grow nicely and bloomed.
