This rather striking bloom caught me by surprise early this morning.  It is from a cross I made involving Brugmansia (Joli x Unknown) x New Orleans Lady.This jumbo sized bloom was unique in shape and quite impressive. The mother, Brugmansia Joli x Unknown is a single white seedling I have been watching for three years now.  It closely resembles a white version of Brugmansia Joli and I am still undecided if I want to register and release it.  New Orleans Lady, the pollen parent, is a nice ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet blooms are the outcome of the mixed marriage of the America brugmansia Butterfly, and the German brugmansia Joli.  Butterfly is a classic American hybrid and Joli is a European one.When you look at the results you can see quality traits from both parents in the blooms.  So far all the blooms have been resilient, six pointers, with a nice fragrance.  The blooms have lasted nearly a week and what was surprising was that the tendrils held up equally as well.  ...
