Angel's Trumpets


These pots of Brugmansia, also known as Angel's Trumpets, will be used near the wedding arch that Mark and Patty Jenks will build for the ceremony. They bloom for a week, rest, re-group and bloom again. I am showing you them here just in case their timing is off on July 25. We could possibly be looking at urns of green leaves that day.

Ten Days to Go......




Hard to believe the wedding day is fast approaching. Terry spread the mulch all by himself as I twisted my back spreading the first filled wheel barrel. Besides having the worst year ever for Japanese beetles and mosquitoes, the flowers are coming along nicely. This will most likely be my last posting until after the wedding as I feel I am moving into fast forward mode.

The flowers are coming along nicely in spite of the beetles. I am out there every evening with my yogurt container filled with soapy water, flicking them into their last bath. They are even defoliating the rhubarb. It will fun to see the combinations that Anne will use on the tables.
