Last season I ramped up my brugmansia hybridizing efforts using brugmansias with mutant and deeply serrated foliage.  The results of those efforts are coming to fruition and now many of the new seedlings are starting to bloom. Here's one that is showing great promise!

Just what I need on my already overflowing plate, another garden vice! I'm totally swamped with my brugmansia hybridizing program  yet I still decided to start hybriding another class of plants. Go figure...but when you love plants it is hard to say no.  :)   

I've been watching this brugmansia seedling perform for several years now and decided it was time to make it a keeper!

It is hard to imagine that it has been nearly 5 years since I was actively posting to my garden blog. Today is the start of a new era as I commit to once again sharing my gardeniing exploits.

Trying to make some sense of the mess in my nursery with back to back work till you drop weekends.

Brugmansia 'Audrey Lea' is a recent Sommer Gardens introduction with nearly red double blooms.  When you see the photo album below you'll see why it is a fitting tribute to my mother.

Brugmansia 'Kleine Lady' x 'Herenhauser Gold'

Every so often I spot a new Angel Trumpet bloom that really wows me. This seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia 'Jazzy' x 'America' did just that when I returned from a recent business trip.
