Those of us who love these plants really love them. I have three of them. An insignis pink, a Charles Grimaldi, and a Peaches and Cream.

I think these are some of the neatest flowers in creation. Like this one.

1. All of mine are the basic white

Still, they are stunning when in bloom. Hope to branch out in different colors this spring.

2. that is a beautiful photo

i had 2 this past summer, a peach one and a yellow one, (but not as vividly yellow as your picture). They were just 4 inch starts at the beginning of the summer and grew quite a a bit but did not bloom until early fall. And then they only bloomed a little. They are dormant and inside my garage right now, I hope they live until spring, and get to be as big and beautiful as yours. You obviously have 'the touch".

3. Well, that one is not mine. It's a sample for people to see.

Mine also started from 4 inch starts this year and all I got was one bloom out of the bunch before it got really cold.

That pic is just one I googled so people could go "ooh" and "ah" over the beauty of these plants.

4. aren't parts of the plant hallucinogenic?

i've never tried it, just read about it...

5. They are, but not in a good way.

They are closely related to the Datura family, but Brugs tend to have more of the bad alkaloids that can make you very, very ill.
