Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi'

I've never planted anything that bloomed so gorgeously so quickly. Yes, the plant was laiden with blooms when I put it in the ground, but most plants seem to drop their blooms, or they shrivel up as the plant gathers it's strength to settle into the earth, not so with Charles Grimaldi. I am in awe. Who knows, perhaps it will never bloom like this again, but at least I have record of what it is capable of producing. Now if I can just get some of the lower stems to branch out and fill in this gaping corner, covering the vining mess from the jasmine and honesuckle, I'll be really pleased.
