I would like to welcome my new blog readers that came over from Blotanical.com.  Thanks for the nice comments.  Please visit often to see what surprises my hybridizing efforts produce.I had a major event over the weekend so I missed a couple of days of new bloom pictures.  I'll make uip for it this week by posting a few extras.  I'm heading out now to see what is blooming this morning.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet is from a cross between brugmansia Mountain Magic x American Pride.The blooms are a nice butter yellow color with great form.   They also have a nice fragrance.  I'll leave this one alone and see how it performs this fall/winter.
