Here's one of my favorite double pink Angel Trumpets I have growing in my watch zone.  It is from a cross between Brugmansia Butterfly x (Terri Shiavo x Earth Angel). I have been watching this Angel Trumpet seedling perform for over two years and now it is time to set if free. Once i dream up a suitable name for it I plan to officially register and release it.The blooms are large and full and hold up extremely well here in the Florida heat.  Like many pink brugmansia, the color deepens ...

I have several seedlings from a cross I made between Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong and (Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta) that have made it into my watch zone last year.  Here is seedling #5, one that is getting closer to earning keeper status. As you can see Ludger's Windsong had a strong influence on this seedling with its similar coloration and wild corolla teeth. I'm really liking the looks of this one and anxious to see how it performs during our sauna like summer.

Here's another golden Angel Trumpet from last year's watch zone that recently bloomed. I can't tell you the name of the cross this Brugmansia seedling came from right now because the plant tag is missing, but with a little photo research I know I'll be able to identify it.  The fact that it was placed in my watch zone means I have photos of it in my archive.The blooms are actually more yellow than the picture shows and are on the larger size.  They have great form and substance and hold up ...

My 2009 cross involving Brugmansia 'Butterfly' x 'Angels Exotic' has yielded quite a few watchers so far.  Here's another seedling from that cross that made it into my watch zone.This Angel Trumpet seedling has a strong resemblance to its father, Angels Exotic.  The one thing that stands out if you compare the two is the white inside this seedling's inner corolla tube. The ruffled corolla skirt and crazy corolla teeth add to the unique look of this seedling.  The blooms are large in size and ...

My real job in the event business has been keeping me super busy the past couple of weeks so I'm behind on recognizing many of the great seedlings that bloomed for the first time last month.  Here is an angel trumpet that I think will be worth watching as it matures.  This seedling is from a cross involving Brugmansia 'Lizzy' x 'Orange Zest'.The blooms are medium in size and held up well in the recent hot spell we had.  Even with my rather challenged sense of smell I could tell this seedling ...

Here is another offspring from the many crosses I made with Brugmansia 'Cherub'.  This angel trumpet  seedling is from a cross of Brumansia 'Cherub' x (Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie) #1.The picture above was taken on day one before it was fully open.  As you have most likely guessed, this bloom was sliced open after I shot these photos so it could be pollinated.  :)  The bloom did open up to a very nice full double.  The blooms on this seedling are medium in size and remain the soft pink color ...

With so many of my angel trumpet seedlings in bloom right now, a new bloom has to be quite spectacular to stand out from the rest.  Here's one that caught my attention from nearly 100 feet away.  It's an offspring from a cross of Brugmansia Angels Moonlight x Morgansonne.The jumbo-sized blooms are striking and elegant. This bloom is showing a nice coloration on day one, and appears to be deepening as it matures.Several other seedlings from this cross have already bloomed, but this is the ...

Here is a nice unknown Angel Trumpet that I feel is worthy of watching, even though I do not know the parentage.I have a bunch of seedlings growing that have lost their tags, or have tags that have completely faded.  This unknown seedling was one that was too good to overlook.  The soft pink porcelain looking blooms are displayed prominently in a mostly horizontal position.  In a recent flush the plant had so many blooms on it you could hardly see the foliage.Even though this seedling is an ...
