Today's featured Angel Trumpet is just another single pink.  The twin blooms pictured are the result of a cross between brugmansia Rubirosa x Dorthea.  It has Dorthea's tendrils and Rubirosa's form.   The color did not get any darker than what is pictured, but it did spread up the corolla tube.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Rubiline x Pink Smitty.  As you can see, the bloom has a very strong resemblance to it's daddy, Pink Smitty.  When I snapped this picture it was still int he 80's at night so the bloom looks sort of wilted.  Any brug that holds up under our hot Florida summer weather is certainly worth watching.  Right now this is just another double pink to me so it will need to prove its worthiness if it is to remain in my breeding ...

Although not quite the outcome you would expect from this Angel Trumpet cross between German Brugmansia Friemersheim x Super Spot, it is still a striking bloom.  This flower had a nice golden color and form, and the ruffled edges make it stand out.  Seeing how this is the very first bloom for this seedling, I'll watch it for a few more bloom cycles to see how it evolves.

This beautiful Angel Trumpet bloom is from seedling #7 from a cross between brugmansia Jacyana x The Chief.  I had a total of eight seedlings from this cross bloom last year and I carried three of them over to 2009 to watch.  This seedling is a vigorous grower and is currently over 8 feet tall.  Another seedling from this cross has similar blooms but has stayed less than 4 feet tall, earning it a slot on my "To be registered" list for this fall.

Here's another Angel Trumpet seedling from the cross between brugmansia Orange Sunshine x Pink Smitty.  You may recall from previous posts that this is a cross where I'm growing close to 100 seedlings from the same cross in order to document the broad range of blooms produced.At first glance this seedling did not do much for me.  But after it had 5-6 blooms open at once, it stood out.  The blooms are large, snow white, and all have separated or stacked skirts.  It is a vigorous grower and ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is an offspring from a cross between brugmansia Genevieve x Safari.  The plant is vigorous, the blooms are substantial and fragrant, and it is thriving in the heat.  I'll cross it back to Genevieve this fall in hopes of producing a Genevieve style bloom with color.

Angel Trumpet Shooting Star kisses Creamsicle and the results look quite nice! This Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Creamsicle and Shooting Star.  Not bad for a first bloom.I'm sure the next blooms will be even more spectacular.  I took these photos last night and I'm anxious to see what they look like today.

I would like to welcome my new blog readers that came over from Blotanical.com.  Thanks for the nice comments.  Please visit often to see what surprises my hybridizing efforts produce.I had a major event over the weekend so I missed a couple of days of new bloom pictures.  I'll make uip for it this week by posting a few extras.  I'm heading out now to see what is blooming this morning.
