A couple days ago I was greeted by this tiny bud on a new Angel Trumpet seedling from a Brenda Delph cross of her unknown B4 x (Angel's Flight x Charming).At first I thought it may turn out to be a yellow or cream colored bloom.  But last night it was fully open and it is a nice shade of pink.What is totally amazing is how small the bloom is.  This has to be the smallest double Angel Trumpet bloom I have ever encountered.  The plant itself is average in size, about 4 feet tall growing in a ...

Here is a new Angel Trumpet sedling that is blooming with split blooms.  It is a cross between Brugmansia Inca Sun and an unknown Bert cross.It is not uncommon to see a split bloom on a plant from time to time.   What is unusual is that this seedling is having its second flush and all the blooms are split, just like in the first flush.  I wonder if this trait will continue as the plant matures?

When a new Angel Trumpet displays its first bloom, you never know what the future may hold for it.  Sometimes the blooms get better, sometimes they get worse, and often they bounce back and forth between good and bad.  Well this first bloom on a seedling from a cross between brugmansia Pink Smitty x The Chief is nothing to get excited about.But with the great parents it has, it is certainly worth watching for a few months.  My gut feeling is that the next set of blooms will be a major ...

Here's another Angel Trumpet seedling from cross between brugmansia Orange Sunshine x Pink Smitty.  As you may recall this is one of the crosses I made where I am growing out a bunch of seedlings so I can document the range of diversity in the blooms.  This cross has been producing numerous double white blooming seedlings.  This seedling is producing nice separated skirts.  It's first bloom was actually a mini flush of 6 blooms and all had dropped skirts like this one.  Nothing really ...

Well this new Angel Trumpet seedlings certainly has some strong aurea overtones.  It is a cross between brugmansia Miss B Havin x Seminole Moon.It has nice thick blooms with a soft fragrance.  I think it is worth working with this fall.

I'm starting to see a bunch of new Angel Trumpet seedlings with double/triple blooms.  Here's one that has a nice soft pink color to it like its mother.  It is the result of a cross between brugmansia Peace x Mon Amour de Muriel.  As with most new doubles, you have to watch them through several bloom cycles to see what they want to do.  Often the blooms get much better, but it some cases they start throwing singles and deformed blooms.  I've had several that were so ugly at the start that I ...

A new Angel Trumpet seedling just bloomed that had to have the longest tendrils of any brugmansia seedling I have grown to date.  It is cross between Bergfuer x Super Spot.The tendrils had to be at least 3-4 inches long!  The bloom also had a nice color and fragrance.  I'll be watching this one for a while.

After a week's worth of whites, I thought I would show a photo of the most colorful Angel Trumpet seedling I had in bloom last night. This is a missing tag brugmansia seedling so the parentage is unknown.  The color is a very deep pink that almost appears red as the bloom matures.  This seedling is a carry over from last year that I planted in my yard.  It survived the freeze and has been blooming since June.  This one may end up on my TBR list and will certainly be used is some crosses this ...
