Brugmansia sanguinea, growing near Papallacta, Pichincha. This is the deepest red of the native Brugmansias, and has nearly no scent at all. Widely cultivated for its attractive pendulous blooms, which attract long-billed hummingbirds, B. sanguinea also contains a deadly toxin. For more on this, see my earlier entry on Brugmansia.

This is one of my favourite plants
I am in Canada and do grow lots of tropicals including Brugmansia.
Of course they have to be brought into the house over winter.
My youngest daughter had very good luck with a Sanguniea this year. SHe seems, like yourself, to have a real green thumb.
I have never had much luck with the Sanguniea.
Loved to see your pictures
Thanks
