After showing a couple of Angel Trumpet blooms with wild tendrils I thought I'd drop one in that has its whiskers under control.  This new bloom is from a cross between Brugmansia Lady Liberty and Jamie's Monkey Business.The first picture is from day one, while the picture below is what the bloom looks like on day three.  It is holding up great in the heat and has a pleasant fragrance too.  I think I'll carry this one forward to next year to see how it performs and perhaps make a few crosses ...

Here's a new Angel Trumpet seedling with out of control tendrils.  One thing that stands out right away on the blooms on this seedling is how fat the tendrils are.  This seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Coldfire x Rubirosa. I made numerous Coldfire crooses last season and this is the first cross to bloom. As you can see from the photo below, the bloom has Coldfire's coloration. I'm not sure which side of the family the fat tendrils came from.

It is always exciting when an Angel trumpet seedling blooms for the first time and it is a flush of blooms.  This seedling from a cross between brugmansia Rubirosa x Desiree did just that.I like the color in this one allot. It is a deep salmon color that jumps out at you from afar.  I'm anxious to see what the next flush will be like.

Just look at the crazy tendrils on this Angel Trumpet bloom from a cross I made between brugmansia Inca Sun and America.  While I was hoping for an ever-blooming yellow version of America when I made the cross, this seedling is certainly worth watching. This color is from day one of the bloom and I noticed this morning it had darkened up some.  The blooms have a nice texture allowing them to hold up well in our heat.  I can't recall if it was fragrant or not.

Sometimes it is a challenge to capture the true colors of an Angel Trumpet bloom.  That is the case with these blooms from a cross between brugmansia Tootsie x Little Miss Lili.The blooms start out a pale pink and then mature to very deep pink like their father, Little Miss Lili.  The plant is large, towering almost eight feet tall, but the blooms are petite.

Here is an Angel Trumpet seedling that you can easily see who the parents were.  It is a cross between brugmansia Vixen x Georgia Peach.  It appears to have the best traits of both parents.It has a thick texture, holds up well in the heat, and has a nice fragrance.  This one will be worth watching for a few more bloom cycles.

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 ...
