I've been watching this Angel Trumpet seedling for the past two years and now I'm ready to place it on my "to be registered' list.  It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Naughty Nick x Cleopatra.Don't be fooled by the photo and assume the blooms are large. The blooms on this seedling are always less than two inches across. The blooms start out cream colored and slowly pick up some apricot highlights as they mature.  While the blooms may be petite, the plant is not.  It definitely has ...

The blooms on this Angel Trumpet are a total mess, but I still find their overall look attractive.  The cross is Brugmansia Miss B Haven x Seminole Moon.When the buds first start to open it is easy to see that the blooms are going to be shredded.  This seedling started blooming almost two years ago and at first I thought the shredded look may be anomaly.  Numerous times I have had plants throw shredded blooms on and off, mixed with normal looking blooms. This one has maintained the its ...

Looking at the photo below you would never guess that this Angel Trumpet seedling was snow white for a couple of days before turning gold overnight.  The cross is Brugmansia Orange Sunshine x Pink Smitty.Here's what this seedling looked like the previous day, snow white without a hint of color. Reflecting back it was sort of funny because at the time I was examining it and trying to determine if this white brugmansia was worthy of keeping. I carried this seedling over from 2010 but had ...

Here's another nice Angel Trumpet seedling from the cross I made between Brugmansia Angels Exotic x Inca Sun.As you can see it has a completely different bloom form and color than that of its sibling, Brugmansia (Angels Exotic x Inca Sun) #4, I posted yesterday.  So far the blooms on this seedling have remained snow white with separated corolla skirts.I decided to place this one in my watch zone and plan to cross it back to it's double yellow brother the next time it blooms.  I'll also be ...

Here's another new white Angel Trumpet seedling that recently impressed me with its blooms. This one is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong x Naughty Nick. Even though the parent's bloom yellow and orange respectively, the blooms on this seedling are snow white and quite showy.  I feel this seedling is worthy of at least watching for a few more bloom cycles before deciding its fate.  What I decided to do is group the white seedlings I'm watching together and wait ...

Look at the perfect shape of this Angel Trumpet bloom on a new seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Painted Lady x Mon Amour de Mareuil.I captured these photos last week when the weather was cooler.  I'm certain the pink color will deepen in warmer weather and we should see much less green in the corolla tube.I 'm anxious to see how this seedling evolves this spring. I really like the form of this medium sized bloom.  If the corolla tube colors up it will be a winner for sure.

When a new Angel Trumpet seedling produces single pink blooms, it really has to stand out to get my attention. This new seedling did just that. It is from a Volker Sanders cross involving Brugmansia Color Point x (Double White x Double Dark Rosetta).The long lasting, wide bodied blooms were a vibrant pink, with the pink color extending all the way up the corolla tube as the bloom matured.  I really like the way this seedling's first blooms were displayed in a cluster at the top of the ...

Many of my Brugmansia seedlings are switching into bloom mode for the first time and now the challenging task of deciding which ones are worthy of watching begins.  Here's one from a cross I made between Brugmansia Cherub x Orange Parfait.It has a simple elegant look to it, but I'm not certain it is special enough to carry forward.  I'll probably watch this one for a few more bloom cycles to see how it performs as the seedling matures.
