Here's another Angel Trumpet seedling with Axel Rose in the mix.  It is a cross between brugmansia Axel Rose x Genevieve.  The blooms are what I call average in size and are a deep golden orange color.  I have lots of seedlings involving Axel Rose yet to bloom and it will be interesting to see if any break out of the yellow-orange trend the blooms to date have had.For those of you not familiar with Axel Rose, it is a green on green variegated sport from Maya, another variegated brugmansia. ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is an offspring from a cross between brugmansia Genevieve x Safari.  The plant is vigorous, the blooms are substantial and fragrant, and it is thriving in the heat.  I'll cross it back to Genevieve this fall in hopes of producing a Genevieve style bloom with color.

I like the curly tendrils and form so this one gets to hang ...

That's the story with this brugmansia.  It is a cross between Miss Caylie and Genevieve and is one of several plants I have growing from this cross.  Here's what the flowers looked like when the plant first bloomed in November. It was so ugly it almost ended up in the compost pile.  Knowing that the first blooms a seedling produces may not resemble the flowers the plant produces as it matures, I decided to let the plant stay for a couple more rounds of blooms.  Over the weekend the second ...
