March wraps up as the golden Angel Trumpet month

March turned out to be a golden Angel Trumpet month with more than a dozen promising new yellow/orange seedlings blooming for the first time.  Here is another one that stood out amongst the rest.  It is from a cross involving Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong x Angel's Moonlight.
