Sommer Gardens / Friday, July 23, 2010 / Categories: Brugmansia Angel Trumpet Hot Summer Flushes I took a stroll through my brugmansia forest tonight and I was overwhelmed by all the blooms I encountered. Even though our night-time low temperatures are breaking records (low's near 80f), and the highs are in the mid 90's, these plants are blooming like crazy. The fragrance in the air was almost over-powering.Here is an assortment of the Angel Trumpets I found blooming tonight. The first one's blooms are not really that special, but the seedling makes up for it with quantity. I cannot recall the cross, but I have marked this one to toss so it does not matter. The seedling below has been displaying some great traits so I decided to add it to my 2010 keepers. It is from a cross between Brugmansia Super Spot and Apricot Queen Here you can see Brugmansia Kong in the center with Pink Perfektion on the left and an Ecuador Pink x Rothkirch seedling on the right. Kong's blooms are not nearly as large as the one in the photo used to sell the plant. The bloom size could just be an environmental or summer related issue. I"m going to have to research the cross involved with the seedling pictured below. The tag has faded and I couldn't make out the names when I shot this photo. I know this seedling has been fully documented with earlier photos, so I just need to research my photo archives to find out the parents. If it ever decides to stop blooming, I plan to get a bunch of cuttings growing so I can register it and release it next spring. It is definitely a keeper! Here is Brugmansia Jessie Noel. I've had this plant for three years and this is the first year it has bloomed. It was moved out to full sun this spring so perhaps that is what triggered the blooms. I like the waxy texture of the blooms. Brugmansia Pink Charm is coming back into bloom. This Monica Gottschalk cross loves it here in Florida. It rewards me with flush after flush of beautiful pink blooms. These blooms just opened and will darken by tomorrow. Brugmansia Serendipity, pictured below, is another classic brugmansia that should be grown more. It thrives in Florida and blooms like crazy all summer long. If you look closely, you'll see a few seed pods hanging in the center. These blooms just opened and they will "pink-up" more over the next couple of days. Continued in the next post.... A delightful triple Brugmansia that loves the heat!
