This is the third seedling of this Angel Trumpet cross of brugmansia Sassy x Tiara to bloom.  Both of the previous two seedlings had single blooms and only one was worthy of watching.  Now this one can join its sibling in my watch zone.Seeing how this is the first bloom for this seedling, we'll have to wait a few more bloom cycles to see how the bloom matures and what the final color will be.

I wonder what is going through this little fellow's mind as he gazes towards this trumpet.  Hopefully he is eying one of the caterpillars or slugs that have been munching on my leaves!

Sorry for the lack of new seedling posts, but I had to head out of town for work.  After five days on the road, I was pleasantly surprised to come home yesterday to lots of new angel trumpet blooms.  Many are just common whites, but several are worthy of posting on here and watching for the rest of the season.Stay tuned for today's featured seedling...

Now that many of my Angel Trumpet seedlings are beginning to bloom, I seem to find a couple new double whites each week. It was great to finally stumble across a double with color last night.

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

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!  

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a carry over from 2008.  It was a "missing tag" brugmansia so its parents are unknown.  Last fall I planted it in my yard because I felt it was worthy of watching.  During the winter it froze down to the ground but has quickly rebounded and is back in bloom again.It has lots of traits that make this one a keeper.  The blooms are thick and hold up well in the heat, the color is rich, and it has a nice fragrance.  With so many new single pinks under ...

Now that many of my Angel Trumpet seedlings are beginning to bloom, I seem to find a couple new double whites each week. It was great to finally stumble across a double with color last night.  This is the result of a cross between brugmansia Lady Liberty and Seminole Moon.  It had a nice butter yellow color that I am hoping will darken some as time goes on.I will probably watch this one for the rest of the summer and then cross it back to some color this fall.
