A monsterous new Angel Trumpet

A recent bloomer in my Angel Trumpet forest was this seedling from a cross made between Brugmansia Miss B Haven x Daydreams. 
missbhavenxdaydreams-2.jpgThe blooms are giant in size and the one pictured above was at least 10 inches across.  The one shown below was equally as wide with a length to match.

missbhavenxdaydreams-3.jpg The plant is also on the larger size and this seedling easily reached 8 feet tall before blooming for the first time.  I plan to cross this one back to several other large flowered cultivars I have to see if I can create a few more monsters.  I would also like to see if I can get some color into the next generation of seedlings.

missbhavenxdaydreams.jpgThe blooms seem to be equally split between compact and separated corolla skirts.  Perhaps after a few more bloom cycles the plant will settle down and produce more consistent blooms.
