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: 6602 / 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???

Saturday, August 15, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6823 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Meet another curly child from Cassie 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... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel Trumpetbloombrugmaniacassies curlsseedling Read more

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. Categories:Brugmansia Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiamountain magicpeanutrubirosa Read more
