This new double Angel Trumpet seedling has an unusual flare to its blooms.  It is the first seedling to bloom from a cross I made between brugmansia Painted Lady x (Haik Vixen x Creamsicle #4).  The bloom is above average size with the inner skirt being slightly larger than the outer skirt.  This first bloom should color up a bit more as well.  I shot this picture the first day it was open.Below is photo I shot last night, the second day the bloom was open.The second bloom on this seedling ...

If was going to create an Angel Trumpet postcard, this could be it.  The picture features a bloom from a seedling of a cross between brugmansia (Jamaica Yellow x Inca Sun) x Mon Amour de Mareuil.  The bloom is nothing special but it makes a nice picture.

This toad is confident he is going to have a nice meal today.  These guys are my friends because some of their favorite foods are snails and slugs.  Unfortunately for my plants there are plenty of snails and slugs around for them to eat.  I just wish I could propogate toads as easily as I do brugmansia!

This Angel Trumpet seedling's bloom has a striking resemblance to the first blooms of another seedling involving The Chief that I recently registered. That cross was featured here back in October.  I named it Lizzy and it was an offspring from a cross involving brugmansia Rubirosa x The Chief. Today's featured Angel Trumpet is from a cross of Brugmansia Pink Smitty x The Chief.  It is too early to tell if I have another winner on my hands. The first bloom, pictured below, was a triple. It ...

When you have multiple Angel Trumpet seedlings growing from the same cross, it is not uncommon to have different seedlings come into bloom at the same time.  Today's featured brugmansia seedlings are both from the same cross involving brugmansia Rubirosa x Adeline.  The first seedling's bloom was a real eye catcher.  After a couple of days the bloom became more flouncy as you can see in the picture below.  Since that photo was taken, the color also worked its way up towards the calyx. The ...

Here's a beautiful Angel Trumpet that has earned a spot in my "keeper" zone and is now awaiting a name so I can register it.  I grew this beauty from brugmansia seeds I purchased from JT Sessions at Country Gardens.  The cross is brugmansia Goldfinch x Peanut.The blooms are more petite than most doubles with a color that is hard to describe.  The cooler the weather, the darker the blooms.  As the blooms mature the tendrils appear to wrap even tighter towards the bloom.  This plant has ...

These pictures do not do really show how beautiful this Angel Trumpet seedling really is.  It is a carry over seedling from 2008 from a cross between brugmansia Butterfly x ((Tiara x Susanne) x Earth Angel).The blooms are large, long lasting, and quite showy.This one is quickly working its way up to my keeper zone.  Don't be surprised to see it named and introduced in 2010.

While we still have a couple of days until the full moon, this Angel Trumpet was glowing under the moonlit sky when I made my rounds tonight.  It's another seedling from the cross between  brugmansia Orange Sunshine and Pink Smitty.  The only thing special about this bloom is that it is a monster.  The face of the bloom has to be at least 12 inches across!
