Not what you would expect from this brugmansia cross

I decided to make this a two for Tuesday and post another whitey.  With the parents this Angel Trumpet seedling has, brugmansia (Double Dark Rosetta x Angel's Flight) x Pink Perfektion. you would think some color would be injected into this bloom. Nothing special here but it should be noted that it is blooming during the hot Florida Summer months and it is staying snow white.

Another glimse of sunshine...

Orange Sunshine that is.  Here's a bloom from another Angel Trumpet seedling from the cross of brugmansia Orange Sunshine x Pink Smitty.  The first bloom to open on this seedling was a stuffed one as you can see below. The remaining blooms in this initial flush were more stacked.  The blooms lasted for several days under our hot Florida sun and they filled the air with a pleasant fragrance at night.  If it maintains those traits during the rest of the summer I'll make some crosses with it ...
