It's one of those night sniffers. You could catch the faint fragrance it releases during the day if you stick your nose into one of its big trumpet-shaped blooms, but wait until dark and it announces its presence with its perfume.
There is a peachy-orange one with a single bloom down in the basement greenhouse, but the variegated one behind me has three. Right now, this is the best seat in the house.

Your talent of overwintering flowers is phenomonal. I don't have such luck...or skill.
They are so pretty, and it's no wonder they're called angel's trumpets - the scent is so heavenly. Ours bloomed after coming in for the winter. I couldn't get enough of that intoxicating scent!
Wow what a beautiful bloom! I love plants that are fragrant, they add another dimension to the garden.
It looks like brugs don't get as large as daturas, unless that is just a start of one. How tall is that one? How much light does it need? Did you start this one by a stem cutting? I need to check to see if I can even grow that in Nebraska.
