This Angel Trumpet trumpet seedling stands out from its neighbors because of it wiry looking tendrils.  The cross is Brugmansia Mountain Treasure x American Pride.The blooms have maintained a golden creamy yellow color and because they have a thick texture, last long.  The blooms also have a light fragrance.  I think I'll carry this one forward into 2011 to see how it develops. I'm also curious to see if the color deepens as the weather cools.

Need I say more?

Here's a recent bloom from another Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Jamie's Monkey Business x America. The father of this cross is Brugmansia 'America', a nice, medium sized double/triple white introduced by Alice Harris. It has been one of my favorite multi-skirt whites and I used it often when making crosses back in 2008.  To date.most of the seedlings that have bloomed from this cross have been a deep yellow/orange color.  I know I have 10-12 more seedlings ...

When I came across this new Angel Trumpet bloom I was totally amazed.  With the flower measuring almost 11 inches across, it was the largest single yellow/orange bloom I had ever encountered. This Momma sized bloom is from a seedling involving a cross between Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong x (Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta) #6.The photo above shows how the blooms start out on day #1.  By the second day the blooms have re-curved and become squatter.  The orange color also deepens as the ...

Seeing how we do not have the traditional fall color change down here in Florida, I have decided share photos of the golden color we do have.  During the next 7-10 days I'm going share photos of golden colored Angel Trumpet blooms.  They will all be from seedlings that have either just recently bloomed, or are currently in bloom.  I'll start with a photo from this very promising Angel Trumpet seedling involving a cross between Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong x (Ludger's Summer Dream x ...

This one would be saying "I dare you to try and pollinate this Angel Trumpet bloom!" or "come here little moth, I have some sweet nectar for you inside this bloom."Hopefully he's also on the lookout for the caterpillars that are just starting to appear on many of my brugmansia.

Brugmansia Lizzy is one great brug!  It blooms more than any double/triple brugmansia I have in my collection...and I have lots.  Here are a couple of photos I shot last night.  Despite having 3 consecutive days of record setting high temperatures, the blooms still look fresh. Lizzy is an Angel Trumpet that I grew from seed and registered last year. It came from a Liz Fichtl cross involving Brugmansia Rubirosa x The Chief.  The plant is a vigorous grower and has stayed pest free.  I hope to ...

After several weeks of cool weather, my Angel Trumpet seedlings are finally switching into bloom mode.  Everyday I find more and more surprises like these blooms on a cross I made between Brugmansia Creamsicle and Shooting Star.I expect the blooms to color up even more as cool weather settles in.  The blooms pictured are the first ones to appear on this seedling and were part of a mini-flush of 8 blooms.  The blooms have a pleasant fragrance and are holding up well.My Shooting Star Angel ...
