A double dose of genes from Angel Trumpet "The Chief"

This week I had one of my second generation crosses involving Brugmansia Lizzy bloom.  The cross is Lizzy x Orange Zest, both of which have "The Chief" as a father.  .

lizzyxorangezest-2.jpgI was hoping some of Orange Zest's color would transfer over to a Lizzy style bloom, but instead the outcome was a rather simple double white Angel Trumpet.  The blooms are nothing spectacular and medium in size.
