Friday, August 7, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6719 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating I need to inject some color genes in this one... Here's a cross just begging for some color. This is a brugmansia cross of New Orleans Lady x (Angel's Flight x Charming). The first couple of blooms in spring aged to a nice apricot, but during our hot summer the blooms have been white/cream with perhaps just a hint of apricot. As you can see it has great genes in the mix so I have kept this one to use for some fall crosses. It already has a pod from a cross I made in early Summer with a single bright yellow/orange Angel's Flight cross I ...

This new Angel Trumpet seedling is worthy of watching for a few more bloom cycles to see what it does. It is a cross between brugmansias Rubirosa and Desiree. As the bloom matures, the color deepens from the color displayed in the picture below. If my Desiree plant ever decided to bloom, I would cross it back in hopes of getting a couple more skirts on her. Categories:Brugmansia Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiadesireerubirosaseedling Read more

Dazed and confused is a great description for these Angel Trumpet blooms. This is the first seedling of my cross between brugmansia Inca Sun and Masquerade to bloom. While I was hoping for an ever-blooming yellow Masquerade type, I'm not quite ready to give up hope. I have a bunch more from this cross that will be blooming this year and hopefully at least a couple will be worthy of holding over. I also plan to cross any keepers I have from this cross back to Inca Sun. Categories:HybridizingBrugmansia Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiainca sunmasqueradeseedling Read more

The color is rich and the blooms hold up extremely well in the heat. It has a light fragrance in the early evening.Despite its size, this seedling impressed me with a mini-flush for its inaugural blooms. I think I'll move this one up to a larger pot and keep an eye on it for the ... Categories:Seedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiamountain Treasurenaughty nickseedling Read more
