That reminded me of my Mom's Brug that I gave years ago. She lived in Manchaca and it never froze back. When she pasted away a couple of years ago I dug it up and potted it in a huge pot. The trunk was as big as my arm and it was 8' tall. I gave it to Trish at Forever Gardens in Georgetown. She keeps it at the nursery and I get to see it every time I go there.
After 10 years gardening on solid rock in Rollingwood, I moved into a 40's cottage in the North Loop area spring 2007. The little postage stamp yard is black clay and no one had ever dug a single flower bed. After visiting Key West a few years ago, I came back inspired by the little frame cottages, white painted railings, and rustling palm leaves. So the plan is: desert tropical cottage garden.

An amazing brugmansia, I am still waiting to get a single bloom on mine. Is this one in full sun or shade/part shade. Curious.
