This Angel Trumpet bloom from the brugmansia cross of Mountain Treasure x (Miss Caylie x Genevieve #7)! It was the winner of this weekend's best new seedling to bloom in the heat of summer competition. When I first spotted this bloom Saturday afternoon I expected it to remain white as the five or six seedlings that already bloomed from this cross had.

Monday, August 10, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7107 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating I need to inject some color genes in this one... Here's a cross just begging for some color. This is a brugmansia cross of New Orleans Lady x (Angel's Flight x Charming). The first couple of blooms in spring aged to a nice apricot, but during our hot summer the blooms have been white/cream with perhaps just a hint of apricot.

If you like big blooms, then this seedling is one for you. It is a cross between Adeline, a large double pink brugmansia x Miss Emily Mackenzie, perhaps the largest of the single pink Angel Trumpets. This monster sized bloom measures at least 10 inches across! Despite its size, the blooms hold up very well in the hot Florida sun. As you can see in the second picture, the blooms carry forward the curly tendrils ... Categories:Seedlings Tags:adelineAngel TrumpetbloombrugBrugmansiamiss emily mackenzieseedling Read more
