I have brugmansia/purple trumpet but it's still small and not nearly as impressive as yours. I'd love to be able to smell that tropical fragrance.
We planted a Hydrangea 'Limelight' last year. It's a pretty one.
Your lilies are gorgeous. I'd be devastated if the deer ate my flowers and buds! I feel for you.
Wish I had time to comment on all your pics, but just let me say I've thoroughly enjoyed them all. It was great to see those long shots of your garden. I love the Crepe (spelling?) Myrtle!

I prefer the brugmansia that dangle, very nice, and also purchased a Limelight hydrangea last year which evokes a certain delicate charm.

You are in NY and your brugmansia is gorgeous and I'm Florida and can't get one to grow. What's wrong here? Do you have it in a pot? How big? Any tips for me?
