Sommer Gardens / Thursday, April 14, 2011 / Categories: Brugmansia, Seedlings A rain catching Angel Trumpet A couple of weeks ago I featured a nice double pink Angel Trumpet from a cross I made involving Brugmansia Cherub x (Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie #1). Here's another promising seedling from that same cross.The blooms are the same soft pink color as the other seedling and are thick in texture. Like its mother, this seedling loves our Florida weather.As you can see this seedling likes to display its blooms in an upward position. This may be a desirable trait for a potted plant but I'm not sure it will work well when the plant is grown outside during our summer rainy season. The blooms did not fill with water from my overhead irrigation system so perhaps our daily summer rains will not be a problem.During its most recent bloom cycle the blooms started out reaching upwards and then matured to a 45 degree angle. This seedling has the most vertical blooms of any seeding I have grown.This one will be in my watch zone for the summer and then I'll decide what to do with it this fall.
