Just look at the crazy tendrils on this Angel Trumpet bloom from a cross I made between brugmansia Inca Sun and America.  While I was hoping for an ever-blooming yellow version of America when I made the cross, this seedling is certainly worth watching. This color is from day one of the bloom and I noticed this morning it had darkened up some.  The blooms have a nice texture allowing them to hold up well in our heat.  I can't recall if it was fragrant or not.

Sometimes it is a challenge to capture the true colors of an Angel Trumpet bloom.  That is the case with these blooms from a cross between brugmansia Tootsie x Little Miss Lili.The blooms start out a pale pink and then mature to very deep pink like their father, Little Miss Lili.  The plant is large, towering almost eight feet tall, but the blooms are petite.

September is my busiest time of year for work and this past weekend I had one of my marathon road trips, hence the lack of new bloom posts.  I started out on the Delaware coast and ended up in Western Maryland.  While in Maryland I was pleasantly surprised to see fall colors beginning and to experience temperatures in the upper 40's in the morning.  Now I'm back sweating here in muggy Florida.While out for a quick brug check I spotted this cute tree frog hanging out. It is good to know that ...

Here is an Angel Trumpet seedling that you can easily see who the parents were.  It is a cross between brugmansia Vixen x Georgia Peach.  It appears to have the best traits of both parents.It has a thick texture, holds up well in the heat, and has a nice fragrance.  This one will be worth watching for a few more bloom cycles.

This Angel Trumpet bloom is certainly not the bloom you would expect from this cross between brugmansia Shooting Star x New Orleans Lady.  Shooting Star has small single orange blooms and New Orleans Lady has large double cream to orange blooms.  None the less, these blooms are impressive and have earned this seedling a spot in my watch zone.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between Brugmansia Mon Amour de Mareuil and Shooting Star.  I'm not sure what I think of this one, but I'll watch it for a while to see what it does.A few years ago finding a double pink from one your seedlings was a big deal.  Now with the expanded gene pool available in the U.S., it can be a common occurrence.  I already have more than 20 new double pinks I am watching and out of that group I only have 2-3 that I feel are ...

This new Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Jazzy x Naughty Nick.   I really like its elegant and classy look.  At first glance this one looks to be a keeper for sure.  It has a nice salmon color, good texture, and a pleasant fragrance.  What more could you ask for in a brug? 

A couple days ago I was greeted by this tiny bud on a new Angel Trumpet seedling from a Brenda Delph cross of her unknown B4 x (Angel's Flight x Charming).At first I thought it may turn out to be a yellow or cream colored bloom.  But last night it was fully open and it is a nice shade of pink.What is totally amazing is how small the bloom is.  This has to be the smallest double Angel Trumpet bloom I have ever encountered.  The plant itself is average in size, about 4 feet tall growing in a ...
