Sommer Gardens / Thursday, December 27, 2012 / Categories: Brugmansia Seedlings, Seedlings Brugmansia 'New Orleans Lady' x 'Tootsie' An Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia 'New Orleans Lady' x 'Tootsie' has been a prolific bloomer with Tootsie-sized blooms. In its first bloom flush at least 15 blooms were open at once, quite impressive for a first time bloomer. The blooms start out white/cream and then slowly turn orange as they mature. Both 'New Orleans Lady' and 'Tootsie' have similar coloration. I don't have a great sense of smell but I could easily detect a strong fragrance in this seedling. I have a bunch more seedlings from this cross, and a reverse cross of the same parents, that should be blooming this winter. I'm really curious to see if the blooms of the reverse cross look similar to these. Meanwhile I plan to watch this one through the winter to see how it evolves. Brugmansia 'Double L'Amour' x 'Bergische Symphony' A new Brugmansia to warm up this dreary winter day.
