My Angel Trumpet seedlings have rewarded me with a bunch of promising yellow/orange blooms this year.  Out of the entire lot, this one stands out above the rest.  It is a seedling from a cross involving Brugmansia Day Dreams x Ludger's Windsong.Often yellow brugmansia blooms take on some orange coloration as they age, but not this one.  This seedling stays yellow from start to finish.The blooms are medium in size and long lasting, even in our Florida heat.  So far it has been a great ...

Here's another Angel Trumpet cross involving Brugmansia Shooting Star that is currently in bloom.   This is just one of more than a dozen seedlings I have growing from a cross I made between Brugmansia Shooting Star x Masquerade.The blooms are thicker in texture and as you can see, are holding up quite well in our hot and muggy summer weather.The blooms are medium in size, in keeping with the size of its parent's blooms.  The plant is very healthy and pest free.  I recall it having a light ...

The peachy cool exotic hibiscus I posted a photo of in my previous post just bloomed again.  Wow, what a difference!This was a dinner plate size bloon, about double in size from the previous photo I posted.  I can't wait to see what the next bloom looks like.

Here's the first bloom on an exotic Hibiscus cross involving ((Mystic x Cajun SW) x Nightfire) x Sun Shower,  It really has an unusual peachy coloration to it. I'm not sure what is going on with the tuft, but I may find out soon as this seedling has 3-4 more buds that should open over the next few days.  I expect the next blooms to look even better.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet is an orphan, meaning I have no idea who its parents are.  I wish I knew because this brugmansia is a real beauty.This is just one of many brugmansia seedlings I have that are either missing a tag, or the cross was unknown when I grew the seeds out.  Although knowing the parentage is great, it is not a deal breaker when it comes down to deciding which seedlings are going to be carried forward in my breeding program.  This seedling is certainly one i will carry ...

Today I'm featuring a new Angel Trumpet seedling that has brugmansia Creamsicle as its father. Looking at these two blooms side by side you can see where the Creamsicle part fits in.  The newer bloom on the right is cream colored while the older bloom is orange. Combine the two and you have a Creamsicle! Meet today's featured seedling, a cross between brugmansia Rubiline x Creamsicle.  The blooms pictured below are about 2 days apart in age.

This is a follow-up post to the Itsy bitsy teeny weeney Angel Trumpet post I made a few days ago.  I wanted to wait until the second bud opened to make certain this seedling was going to continue to produce miniature blooms, and it has!  I'm totally psyched!  This seedling is going to perform an important role in my future breeding program.  Here is a bloom from Naughty Nick x Cleopatra fully open:As you can see, the blooms are triples and there is even a tinge of color in them.  I do not ...

This has to be one of the smallest Angel Trumpet blooms I have seen this season.  It is from an Angel Trumpet cross involving Brugmansia Naughty Nick x Cleopatra.  Of course with this being the first bloom on this seedling, you never know if it is just an anomaly or if this is going to be the norm for blooms on this plant. I'm sure this bloom is going to be a triple.  I plan to slice it open tonight and check for pollen and perhaps cross it back to another brug seedling with miniature ...
