Less than a handful...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a mini as you can see by the photo below.  It is the result of a cross made between brugmansia Goldfinch x Rubirosa.  The plant itself is not a mini in any way and is actually over 6 feet tall in a 3 gallon pot.  The blooms are nothing special, but they do have a good substance and hold up well in the heat.I'll keep this one around for a while to see if the blooms remain small.

How sassy will this one be?

This is the third seedling of this Angel Trumpet cross of brugmansia Sassy x Tiara to bloom.  Both of the previous two seedlings had single blooms and only one was worthy of watching.  Now this one can join its sibling in my watch zone.Seeing how this is the first bloom for this seedling, we'll have to wait a few more bloom cycles to see how the bloom matures and what the final color will be.

Coming home to lotsa blooms!

Sorry for the lack of new seedling posts, but I had to head out of town for work.  After five days on the road, I was pleasantly surprised to come home yesterday to lots of new angel trumpet blooms.  Many are just common whites, but several are worthy of posting on here and watching for the rest of the season.Stay tuned for today's featured seedling...

Hey fella, slow down!

The monster moths were out pollinating my angel trumpets at dusk and caught me by surprise.  I'm so used to using auto-focus on my camera so I'm having trouble capturing a good picture of these guys.  I need to remember to switch to manual focus when they are out and up the shutter speed.  I'm not giving up until I get some crisp photos of these workhorses in action!
