Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a carry over from 2008. It was a "missing tag" brugmansia so its parents are unknown.

Thursday, August 20, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 5033 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Hey fella, slow down! The monster moths were out pollinating my angel trumpets at dusk and caught me by surprise. I'm so used to using auto-focus on my camera so I'm having trouble capturing a good picture of these guys. I need to remember to switch to manual focus when they are out and up the shutter speed. I'm not giving up until I get some crisp photos of these workhorses in action!

This Angel Trumpet cross involving the double white brugmansia Sweetheart and the single bright yellow/orange Herenhauser Gold just opened last night. This is the first seedling from this cross to bloom and I know I have more out there in waiting. Hopefully at least one of them will display the best genes of both; Sweetheart's form and durability with the color of Herenhauser Gold.

Monday, August 17, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6597 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Last night's wide bodied bloom This wide-bodied Angel Trumpet bloom is the result of a cross between brugmansia Creamsicle and Mountain Magic.Measuring over 10 inches across, this one is a real attention grabber. While it had the droops in the heat of the day, it quickly bounced back as the afternoon cooled off.I wonder if the color will deepen to that of Mt. Magic when cool weather arrives???
