This Angel Trumpet bloom is certainly not the bloom you would expect from this cross between brugmansia Shooting Star x New Orleans Lady.  Shooting Star has small single orange blooms and New Orleans Lady has large double cream to orange blooms.  None the less, these blooms are impressive and have earned this seedling a spot in my watch zone.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between Brugmansia Mon Amour de Mareuil and Shooting Star.  I'm not sure what I think of this one, but I'll watch it for a while to see what it does.A few years ago finding a double pink from one your seedlings was a big deal.  Now with the expanded gene pool available in the U.S., it can be a common occurrence.  I already have more than 20 new double pinks I am watching and out of that group I only have 2-3 that I feel are ...

This new Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Jazzy x Naughty Nick.   I really like its elegant and classy look.  At first glance this one looks to be a keeper for sure.  It has a nice salmon color, good texture, and a pleasant fragrance.  What more could you ask for in a brug? 

A couple days ago I was greeted by this tiny bud on a new Angel Trumpet seedling from a Brenda Delph cross of her unknown B4 x (Angel's Flight x Charming).At first I thought it may turn out to be a yellow or cream colored bloom.  But last night it was fully open and it is a nice shade of pink.What is totally amazing is how small the bloom is.  This has to be the smallest double Angel Trumpet bloom I have ever encountered.  The plant itself is average in size, about 4 feet tall growing in a ...

Here is a new Angel Trumpet sedling that is blooming with split blooms.  It is a cross between Brugmansia Inca Sun and an unknown Bert cross.It is not uncommon to see a split bloom on a plant from time to time.   What is unusual is that this seedling is having its second flush and all the blooms are split, just like in the first flush.  I wonder if this trait will continue as the plant matures?

When a new Angel Trumpet displays its first bloom, you never know what the future may hold for it.  Sometimes the blooms get better, sometimes they get worse, and often they bounce back and forth between good and bad.  Well this first bloom on a seedling from a cross between brugmansia Pink Smitty x The Chief is nothing to get excited about.But with the great parents it has, it is certainly worth watching for a few months.  My gut feeling is that the next set of blooms will be a major ...

Here's another Angel Trumpet seedling from cross between brugmansia Orange Sunshine x Pink Smitty.  As you may recall this is one of the crosses I made where I am growing out a bunch of seedlings so I can document the range of diversity in the blooms.  This cross has been producing numerous double white blooming seedlings.  This seedling is producing nice separated skirts.  It's first bloom was actually a mini flush of 6 blooms and all had dropped skirts like this one.  Nothing really ...

I'm starting to see a bunch of new Angel Trumpet seedlings with double/triple blooms.  Here's one that has a nice soft pink color to it like its mother.  It is the result of a cross between brugmansia Peace x Mon Amour de Muriel.  As with most new doubles, you have to watch them through several bloom cycles to see what they want to do.  Often the blooms get much better, but it some cases they start throwing singles and deformed blooms.  I've had several that were so ugly at the start that I ...
