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

Yes, there's a huge specimen of 'Sunset' in flower in the largest
greenhouse and it's a knockout, scent even in that much space. In a
small room, like my study, it was nearly too much altogether.
