My 2009 cross involving Brugmansia 'Butterfly' x 'Angels Exotic' has yielded quite a few watchers so far.  Here's another seedling from that cross that made it into my watch zone.This Angel Trumpet seedling has a strong resemblance to its father, Angels Exotic.  The one thing that stands out if you compare the two is the white inside this seedling's inner corolla tube. The ruffled corolla skirt and crazy corolla teeth add to the unique look of this seedling.  The blooms are large in size and ...

My real job in the event business has been keeping me super busy the past couple of weeks so I'm behind on recognizing many of the great seedlings that bloomed for the first time last month.  Here is an angel trumpet that I think will be worth watching as it matures.  This seedling is from a cross involving Brugmansia 'Lizzy' x 'Orange Zest'.The blooms are medium in size and held up well in the recent hot spell we had.  Even with my rather challenged sense of smell I could tell this seedling ...

Here is another offspring from the many crosses I made with Brugmansia 'Cherub'.  This angel trumpet  seedling is from a cross of Brumansia 'Cherub' x (Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie) #1.The picture above was taken on day one before it was fully open.  As you have most likely guessed, this bloom was sliced open after I shot these photos so it could be pollinated.  :)  The bloom did open up to a very nice full double.  The blooms on this seedling are medium in size and remain the soft pink color ...

With so many of my angel trumpet seedlings in bloom right now, a new bloom has to be quite spectacular to stand out from the rest.  Here's one that caught my attention from nearly 100 feet away.  It's an offspring from a cross of Brugmansia Angels Moonlight x Morgansonne.The jumbo-sized blooms are striking and elegant. This bloom is showing a nice coloration on day one, and appears to be deepening as it matures.Several other seedlings from this cross have already bloomed, but this is the ...

While out pollinating my Angel Trumpet blooms earlier this week I stumbled across this variegated sport on a brugmansia Fantasma plant.  At first I almost did not notice it because this Fantasma plant is growing beside, and is intertwined with, another variegated Angel Trumpet, Brugmansia 'Freckles'.The variegated branch starts out from a "Y", which I find rather strange.  As you can see in the photograph below, the lower half of the 'Y' is solid green and the upper part is variegated. The ...

Here is a nice unknown Angel Trumpet that I feel is worthy of watching, even though I do not know the parentage.I have a bunch of seedlings growing that have lost their tags, or have tags that have completely faded.  This unknown seedling was one that was too good to overlook.  The soft pink porcelain looking blooms are displayed prominently in a mostly horizontal position.  In a recent flush the plant had so many blooms on it you could hardly see the foliage.Even though this seedling is an ...

If you like your Angel Trumpets to have a light salmon color with great form, than you will like this seedling.  It is from a cross involving Brugmansia 'Cherub' x 'Orange Parfait'.Brugmansia 'Cherub' is a super performer here in Florida. It remains relatively bug free and forms a nice bloom canopy.  I used 'Cherub' in lots of crosses back in 2009 because of those qualities.Brugmansia 'Orange Parfait' is a recent introduction of Sommer Gardens that is a real winner.  It has masses of blooms ...

A couple of weeks ago I featured a nice double pink Angel Trumpet from a cross I made involving Brugmansia Cherub x (Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie #1).  Here's another promising seedling from that same cross.The blooms are the same soft pink color as the other seedling and are thick in texture.  Like its mother, this seedling loves our Florida weather.As you can see this seedling likes to display its blooms in an upward position.  This may be a desirable trait for a potted plant but I'm not sure ...
