This Angel Trumpet seedling has been an over achiever since it first bloomed in early summer.  It is the result of a cross between a brugmansia Jacyana x The Chief seedling x an unknown father. I grew out about a dozen Jacyana x The Chief seedlings from seeds I obtained from Liz Fichtl. All but three were trashed, and of those remaining three, only one is a "keeper" that I plan to register this fall.  The mother of this seedling was the only Jacyana x The Chief seedling that bloomed white, ...

Here is another Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross I made between brugmansia Masquerade and  Inca Sun.  While I was hoping for yellow, the snow white blooms and their wild and crazy tendrils still grab your attention.This bloom has a very strong resemblance to its mama, Masquerade, and looks like a keeper for sure.  It will definitely be crossed back to Inca Sun this fall. 

Brugmansia Jazzy is one of my favorite yellow Angel Trumpets.  As a result I made a bunch of crosses with it last year.  Here is a bloom from a seedling from a cross mother nature made, brugmansia Jazzy x an unknown father.The blooms have a slight resemblance to Jazzy but are much larger.  The color of Jazzy is a bit deeper yellow/orange than this one, but most likely the color of this bloom will deepen when the weather cools down.  I have lots of jazzy seedlings I expect to bloom this fall ...

I've had several Angel Trumpet seedlings from this cross of brugmansia L'Amour and Charles Grimaldi bloom so far and all are single yellows.  Many look almost identical to Charles Grimaldi, however this one stood out because of its smooth lines.  I'm already watching a couple of earlier seedlings from this cross, and now this one will join it's siblings in my watch zone to see how it performs in the long run.

Here's a new Angel Trumpet bloom from a cross made between brugmansia Angel's Moonlight and Cassie's Curls.  I'm not sure if I like this style of bloom and should work with it, or send it to the compost pile.This one seedling has already had several blooms and they all have this form.  This tells me it is most likely not an anomaly and is the way this plant is going to bloom.  I think I will keep it around to see what it looks like when it has a flush and then decide to keep or toss it.What ...

After showing a couple of Angel Trumpet blooms with wild tendrils I thought I'd drop one in that has its whiskers under control.  This new bloom is from a cross between Brugmansia Lady Liberty and Jamie's Monkey Business.The first picture is from day one, while the picture below is what the bloom looks like on day three.  It is holding up great in the heat and has a pleasant fragrance too.  I think I'll carry this one forward to next year to see how it performs and perhaps make a few crosses ...

Here's a new Angel Trumpet seedling with out of control tendrils.  One thing that stands out right away on the blooms on this seedling is how fat the tendrils are.  This seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Coldfire x Rubirosa. I made numerous Coldfire crooses last season and this is the first cross to bloom. As you can see from the photo below, the bloom has Coldfire's coloration. I'm not sure which side of the family the fat tendrils came from.

It is always exciting when an Angel trumpet seedling blooms for the first time and it is a flush of blooms.  This seedling from a cross between brugmansia Rubirosa x Desiree did just that.I like the color in this one allot. It is a deep salmon color that jumps out at you from afar.  I'm anxious to see what the next flush will be like.
