Back in June, I "wounded" the Brugmansia to stimulate new growth. In August (see August 12 posting), I noticed a nice healthy sprout at the site of the wound. Today, I cut off that sprout and put it in a carafe of water to see if I can get it to propagate. My last attempt was not successful, but hopefully, this very young sprout will fare better. The Brugmansia stem that "followed me home" down in the French Quarter back in 2009 was put in a gin bottle and grew to a very large plant. I brought this plant home when I left NO and tried planting it in the back yard. It did not survive the first winter.
