An Angel Trumpet cross involving brugmansia Cassie's Curls almost always results in curly offspring.  The seedling pictured below has an unknown father but you can still see mom's curly tendril genes carried forward.  This particular seedling had about 10 blooms open in its first bloom cycle and the overall look was quite striking.I'm growing out lots of crosses involving Cassie's Curls and I'm expecting some exciting results this fall.  Stay tuned...

Every so often an Angel Trumpet has blooms whose color beckons you from far away.  This cross from brugmansia Rubirosa x (Peanut x Mt. Magic) was one of those. I must have had a dozen seedlings blooming in the same general area, but this one stood out from a hundred feet away.If it is this dark in the heat of summer, I wonder how intense the color will be when the weather cools?  This will be a watcher for sure.

When you cross Angel Trumpets you never know what to expect.  Here's a cross of brugmansia Little Miss Lili x Jamie's Monkey Business.  LML is one of the darkest pinks I have.  Under the right conditions it almost appears red.  Jamie's Monkey Business is a bright yellow with plenty of orange genes in its family tree.This one certainly has Little Miss Lili's form.  I'm not sure what I will do with it, but any colorful, well shaped seedling that blooms during a hot Florida summer is worthy of ...

I hope this will not become a regular feature, but when I stumble across a new creature during my nightly stroll through my field of brugs, I just have to share it....and there never seems to be a shortage of creatures here in Florida.  I'm always amazed at how many sets of eyes I see when I walk around at night with a headlamp on. It's the ones I don't see that scare me!Tonight I found this locust emerging from its old skin.  I'm not sure if they actually eat brugs so I left him be.  I must ...
