This Angel Trumpet bloom is certainly not the bloom you would expect from this cross between brugmansia Shooting Star x New Orleans Lady. Shooting Star has small single orange blooms and New Orleans Lady has large double cream to orange blooms. None the less, these blooms are impressive and have earned this seedling a spot in my watch zone.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between Brugmansia Mon Amour de Mareuil and Shooting Star. I'm not sure what I think of this one, but I'll watch it for a while to see what it does.A few years ago finding a double pink from one your seedlings was a big deal. Now with the expanded gene pool available in the U.S., it can be a common occurrence. I already have more than 20 new double pinks I am watching and out of that group I only have 2-3 that I feel are ...

Thursday, September 17, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6934 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Could this be the World's smallest double Angel Trumpet??? A couple days ago I was greeted by this tiny bud on a new Angel Trumpet seedling from a Brenda Delph cross of her unknown B4 x (Angel's Flight x Charming).At first I thought it may turn out to be a yellow or cream colored bloom. But last night it was fully open and it is a nice shade of pink.What is totally amazing is how small the bloom is. This has to be the smallest double Angel Trumpet bloom I have ever encountered. The plant itself is average in size, about 4 feet tall growing in a ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel Trumpetangels flightbloomsbrugBrugmansiacharmingSeedlings Read more
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7717 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating For those of you who like them big... If you like big blooms, then this seedling is one for you. It is a cross between Adeline, a large double pink brugmansia x Miss Emily Mackenzie, perhaps the largest of the single pink Angel Trumpets. This monster sized bloom measures at least 10 inches across! Despite its size, the blooms hold up very well in the hot Florida sun. As you can see in the second picture, the blooms carry forward the curly tendrils ... Categories:Seedlings Tags:adelineAngel TrumpetbloombrugBrugmansiamiss emily mackenzieseedling Read more

It is a cross between Kleine App x Unknown and New Orleans Lady. It is trying very hard to be a double as you can see by the second skirt still stuffed inside the bloom. The peach color has deepened since I shot these pictures.Here's another picture showing the nice recurved form.
