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.

This petite little beauty surprised me when it started blooming last week.  The blooms measure less than 3" across and there were lots of them.This a cross between Mountain Treasure and Naughty Nick.  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 ...

If you like big blooms, then this seedling is one for you.  It is a cross between Adeline, a large double pink brugmansia x Miss Emily Mackenzie, perhaps the largest of the single pink Angel Trumpets.                        This monster sized bloom measures at least 10 inches across!  Despite its size, the blooms hold up very well in the hot Florida sun. As you can see in the second picture, the blooms carry forward the curly tendrils ...

That's the story with this brugmansia.  It is a cross between Miss Caylie and Genevieve and is one of several plants I have growing from this cross.  Here's what the flowers looked like when the plant first bloomed in November. It was so ugly it almost ended up in the compost pile.  Knowing that the first blooms a seedling produces may not resemble the flowers the plant produces as it matures, I decided to let the plant stay for a couple more rounds of blooms.  Over the weekend the second ...

This was the only new seedling blooming this weekend.  It is a cross between Kleine App x Unknown and New Orleans Lady.  It is trying very hard to be a double as you can see by the second skirt still stuffed inside the bloom.  The peach color has deepened since I shot these pictures.Here's another picture showing the nice recurved form.

I recently was rewarded with a couple of new double blooms on my Brugmansia seedlings.  The yellow one is the one that I'm most excited about. It is a cross between Hawaiian Double White x Ecuador Pink and Jamie's Monkey Business.  It only had the one bloom when I snapped this picture but several new buds have recently formed and should be open before the new year.  This was just one of several plants I have from this cross but it is the only one with double yellow blooms. ...
