Brugmansia Angel's Exotic x Inca Sun produces another beauty

Another seedling from my Brugmansia Angel's Exotic x Inca Sun cross has earned a spot in my watch zone.  This one more closely resembles its mother, Angels Exotic than the other seedlings from this cross I placed in my watch zone earlier.

The more I look at this Angel Trumpet bloom the more it resembles a white/cream colored Angels Exotic bloom. If Angels Exotic happens to be in bloom the next time this seedling blooms, I'll take a picture of the two together for comparison.

I plan to definitely cross this one back to Brugmansia Inca Sun this fall in hopes of creating a yellow version of this bloom.  This seedling is a monster at 7-8 feet tall and it would be great if Inca Sun's genes for a more compact growth habit, yellow color, and ever-blooming characteristics would become more dominate.

I know I have several more seedlings from this cross yet to bloom for the first time so I'm still holding out hope that one will be yellow.
