Sommer Gardens / Wednesday, June 1, 2011 / Categories: Brugmansia, Seedlings An Angel Trumpet Bloomaholic This beautiful Angel Trumpet seedling has turned into a keeper. It is a seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Creamsicle and Shooting Star.It is currently in its second year of being trialed and will be officially named and registered with the International Brugmansia and Datura Society later this year.If there was such a thing as a bloomaholic, this seedling would be one. I snapped these photos a week or so ago when it came into flush with more than two dozen blooms. When I was out making my rounds tonight it had at least a dozen more blooms in various stages of opening and at least the same amount of buds forming that should open next week. I've never seen a multi-skirted Angel Trumpet bloom so profusely I remember the blooms having a fragrance last year, but now that I'm currently scent challenged I cannot identify one. The blooms are average in size and long lasting. We are having our typical steamy Florida weather now so you can see that this plant does well in the heat.I hope it decides to take a break from blooming in a couple of weeks because the end of the month I plan to switch into propagating mode. It would be hard to chop this plant up for cuttings if it is blooming like it is right now.This Brugmansia would make a great replacement for New Orleans Lady. I know I was able to get a couple of seed pods to set on her before our heat rolled in and I know she is fathering a couple of additional pods on other cultivars. If those crosses carry over the great genes from this seedling you can be assured to see some more beautiful and exciting seedlings next year.
