This morning, Ray came in with 3 Brugmansia flowers for me to see. Two
were from the same plant but showed the change in colour as they aged and
one was pretty consistent. I asked him to put the 3 blooms into water to
see if they'd survive but they flopped rapidly and were consigned to the
rubbish bin. They certainly don't 'pick well'! But I cannot begin to
describe the strength of their perfume as it permeates the kitchen now.
And this is while they're quietly shrivelling up in the bin.

I brought ours in in full flower two days ago and the scent is filling the
whole house whenever we open the conservatory door
