Here is a nice unknown Angel Trumpet that I feel is worthy of watching, even though I do not know the parentage.I have a bunch of seedlings growing that have lost their tags, or have tags that have completely faded.  This unknown seedling was one that was too good to overlook.  The soft pink porcelain looking blooms are displayed prominently in a mostly horizontal position.  In a recent flush the plant had so many blooms on it you could hardly see the foliage.Even though this seedling is an ...

If you like your Angel Trumpets to have a light salmon color with great form, than you will like this seedling.  It is from a cross involving Brugmansia 'Cherub' x 'Orange Parfait'.Brugmansia 'Cherub' is a super performer here in Florida. It remains relatively bug free and forms a nice bloom canopy.  I used 'Cherub' in lots of crosses back in 2009 because of those qualities.Brugmansia 'Orange Parfait' is a recent introduction of Sommer Gardens that is a real winner.  It has masses of blooms ...

A couple of weeks ago I featured a nice double pink Angel Trumpet from a cross I made involving Brugmansia Cherub x (Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie #1).  Here's another promising seedling from that same cross.The blooms are the same soft pink color as the other seedling and are thick in texture.  Like its mother, this seedling loves our Florida weather.As you can see this seedling likes to display its blooms in an upward position.  This may be a desirable trait for a potted plant but I'm not sure ...

After another frigid winter, the tree frog population is finally rebounding.  The sound of the tree frog's chirping is like music to my ears.  More tree frogs equate to less insect pests available to munch on my plants.

Brugmansia Rosalie is an Angel Trumpet that tends to display its blooms in a horizontal fashion.  Occasionally it produces blooms that display upwards, as if designed to collect rain. Perhaps the bloom pictured below was designed to gather rain and water during our current dry spell?  :)Rosalie is a great Angel Trumpet for our hot Florida climate.  As with most pinks, the color deepens as the bloom matures.

Angel Trumpet Lemon Twist has a rather unique Aurea style bloom that enticed me to use it in a bunch of crosses back in 2009.  Here is the results from one of those crosses, Brugmansia 'Lemon Twist' x 'Pink Smitty'.Like its mother, this seedling has waxy, horizontal style blooms.  As you can see by the photos, the blooms are a very soft pink with just a hint of yellow.  It will be interesting to see how the color develops over the next couple of bloom cycles.I have a few more seedlings from ...

This Angel Trumpet seedling was placed in my watch zone last summer and now it has earned keeper status.  It is from a cross involving Brugmansia Pink Perfektion x Orange Sunshine.The blooms are thick textured and long lasting.  I really like their flouncy look too.This seedling has been a frequent bloomer and its snow white blooms are an eye-catcher.It would have been nice if some of Brugmansia Orange Sunshine's color would have carried over to these blooms.  Perhaps a second generation ...
