A recent standout in my Angel Trumpet jungle was this bloom on a seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Axelrose x Marbach. The bloom color is a vibrant orange with a creamy yellow throat.  The corolla teeth do not recurve and the blooms are medium in size.We are still experiencing summer like weather here in Central Florida and the blooms are holding up great in the heat.I like the looks of this seedling and plan to put it in my watch zone. 

Now that summer is winding down and the nights are starting to cool off ever so slightly (like a low of 72 versus 76 is really that cool), my Angel Trumpet seedlings are starting to finally hold their buds and bloom.  Based on some of the blooms I have recently experienced, I expect fall to be full of surprises. Here's a new seedling that recently bloomed that has already set the bar very high for fall.  It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Angels Swingtime x (Shooting Star x New ...

I was out of town on business for over a week and when I returned I found out my shade house had been invaded by caterpillars.  Their feeding frenzy quickly gave many of my Brugmansia the Swiss cheese look.

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon this new Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Marshmallow Sunset x Angels Goldface. It has Marshmallow Sunset's form with a creamy yellow color influenced by Angels Goldface. Brugmansia Marshmallow Sunset has been a great performer and a standout in my Brugmansia jungle. I feel it has lots of potential as a parent and has been used extensively in my breeding program the past two years.  I 'm currently growing out seedlings ...

Here is a new Angel Trumpet seedling that has captured my attention this summer.  It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Bergische Symphony x Marbach.It is with a group of about 400 gallon sized seedlings I potted up this spring. This seedling was super charged and grew much faster than the others in the group, and was was the first of the bunch to bloom.  It is already experiencing its second flush of blooms, while none of the other seedlings are even ready to start setting buds. The ...

After a lull in blooms, mainly due to the summer heat, my Angel Trumpet seedlings are starting to set buds again!  Here is one that caught my attention this weekend.  It is a seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Angels Summerset x (Terri Schindler Shiavo x New Orleans Lady).The rich golden yellow color extends all the way up the corolla tube and the color was consistent through the life of the bloom. The blooms are average in size with good substance.The father of this seedling, ...

My previous post featured a seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Angels Goldface x Inca Sun. Here's an Angel Trumpet seedling I'm watching from a reverse of that same cross.  This is just one of several seedlings in my watch zone from a cross I made between Brugmansia Inca Sun x Angels Goldface.The bloom color starts out a deep yellow and ages to a rich orange. The blooms are similar in size to those of it's mother, Inca Sun.  I like the distinct trumpet shape of the bloom and the ...
