Next up on my soon to be named and registered list is this Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Pink Smitty and Lizzy.The blooms are medium is size and compact.  They hold up well in the heat and the plant has remained relatively pest free, all great traits to have in a new brugmansia. One feature I really like about this seedling is that so far the plants have remained below 6 feet tall.  In contrast, my Lizzy plants easily reach 8 feet tall during the course of a ...

I'm a big fan of wild corolla teeth.  When I spot a new Angel Trumpet seedling with long and crazy teeth, it almost always ends up in my watch zone.  Here is one I've been watching for the past year.  It's corkscrew tipped corolla teeth continue to grab my attention.This seedling is the outcome of an unknown cross with Brugmansia Rubirosa as the pod parent.  The long lasting blooms have remained snow white in all seasons, which is a plus.  Often blooms on a new seedling will slowly change ...

When you make an Angel Trumpet cross with two classic ladies, you can usually count on some of the offspring being watchers. Here's one seedling from the cross I made between Brugmansia Painted Lady x New Orleans Lady that I feel is worth watching for a few more seasons.Most pf the blooms on this seedling have had the bloom form pictured above.  Sometimes it will produce a bloom that strongly resembles its father, New Orleans Lady, as you can see below.Although my sense of smell is not that ...

Brugmansia Marshmallow Sunset is showing off its fall coloring now that the weather has cooled.Brugmansia Marshmallow Sunset is an Angel Trumpet I recently named and registered.  It was grown out from a Brenda Delph cross involving New Orleans Lady x (Angel's Flight x Charming).Here in Florida Marshmallow Sunset stays cream colored during the warmer months.  From November through April the blooms are fringed with an apricot orange color.  It was this unique coloration that inspired me to ...

I'm a big fan of crazy corolla teeth so naturally this new Angel Trumpet seedling caught my attention right away.Unfortunately I cannot give you the name of the cross at this time because the tag was faded.  I'm sure I'll be able to eventually figure it out with the use of an infrared light and a magnifying glass. When this happens to a promising Brugmansia seedling I give the plant a new tag with a code number on it.  The old tag is also coded with the new code number and placed in a box to ...

This Angel Trumpet seedling appears to want to keep it's split corolla format.  The bloom is from a Brugmansia Bert a Angel's Exotic seedling.This seedling has had multiple bloom cycles since spring and with each one all the blooms have been split.  It would be cool if the bloom fanned out more, but currently they stay closed like the photo above.  I'm not sure what I will do with this seedling.  Perhaps i will just grow it out as a novelty.

The past few days I have been trying to organize my gardening photographs from last year.  We are talking about thousands of images as I have a habit of taking lots of pics.  I was surprised at the number or really awesome blooms my Angel Trumpet seedlings produced last season.  Seeing how I'm only a few weeks away from my plants entering into a late winter bloom-a-palooza phase, I thought I would share some photos from my 2010 brugmansia seedlings during the next couple of weeks.  Today ...

Now that summer is winding down, my Angel Trumpets are gearing up for the fall Bloomapalooza.  I must have captured photos of at least a dozen new promising Angel Trumpet seedlings in bloom for the first time tonight.
