An Angel Trumpet rises to the top of its class

When I look back at all the single pink Angel Trumpet seedlings that bloomed this season, this one has quickly become one of my favorites.  It's a seedling from a brugmansia cross of (Tiara x Susanne) x Earth Angel.  It has been blooming for the past month and every time I study it, I like it more and more.  The picture below was taken the second day after the bloom opened.  By day three the color deepens and travels up the corolla tube.   I feel this one has great potential and I have already used its pollen to pollinate a bunch of blooms.  It is also carrying several pods of its own with hopefully more on the way.  I just dusted four more it's blooms with pollen last night.
