Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between brugmansia Tiara x (Ludger's Windsong x Susanne).  While this bloom was a little bit beat-up by the wind, you can still see the one feature that made this bloom unique, dark ribs and a lighter center.  It is even more pronounced when you look up at the blooms.  This bloom was almost on the ground so I'll snap a few more pictures in a couple weeks when the top level blooms open.

Angel Trumpet Shooting Star kisses Creamsicle and the results look quite nice! This Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Creamsicle and Shooting Star.  Not bad for a first bloom.I'm sure the next blooms will be even more spectacular.  I took these photos last night and I'm anxious to see what they look like today.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet bloom is from a brugmansia cross involving Southern Charm and Jazzy.  This bloom was holding up well in the heat and has a nice fragrance.  I think I'll cross it back to a nice double orange this fall and see what happens.  I'm not sure if I still have my Southern Charm plant but if I do, I'll cross it back as well when it blooms.

What color bloom would you expect from a brugmansia cross with Shooting Star and Naughty Nick, a salmon one of course!  You would think crossing two oranges together you would end up with orange kids.  That's not the way it works though in the world of brugs. The nicely formed blooms on this seedling start out a light pink and then turn salmon.I remember Naughty Nick being a cross between Creamsickle and Rosamond, and Rosamond has Rothkirch as it's mother.  Shooting Star has an unknown ...

Why is it that the unknown brugmansia seedlings are always the first ones to catch your attention?  When I first saw this Angel Trumpet bloom I knew it was going to be one to watch.  At first it had a marbled look to it.  Although I was hoping that look would stay, I knew from past experience that total color would prevail.As the bloom matured, the color deepened.  This bloom is also unique in its form.  Most doubles and triples have a long corolla tube, while this bloom has a stubby one ...

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 ...
