The cross is Brugmansia Adeline x Rosalie.I like the deep pink color on this one and the fact the color runs all the way up the corolla tube. This plant has been a consistent bloomer and the blooms are always in perfect form. This seedling has combined the best traits of both parents and it shows in its blooms.I've made several crosses with this seedling as the pod ...

The seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Painted Lady and Adeline.The blooms on this seedling are nicely formed and average in size.

Friday, October 15, 2010 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 5921 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Unkempt is cool with this Angel Trumpet Sometimes when a new Brugmansia seedling blooms, it is love at first sight. That was certainly not the case with this seedling from a 2007 Brenda Delph cross involving Brugmansia Adeline x Miss Caylie. As you can see the blooms have a wrinkled and unkempt look to them. At first I thought this may be something the plant would grow out of as the plant matured. Last fall I actually tagged the plant to be culled when I had time. I have a real hard time tossing plants tagged to be culled so I ... Categories:Seedlings Tags:adelineAngel TrumpetBrugmansiabrugsmiss caylie Read more

This one did not have a tag, but I am fairly certain it is Painted Lady. The blooms just opened tonight and are a very pale pink. If it is Painted Lady, the blooms will be much darker by tomorrow. Here's one I plan to release to the public next spring. It is a cross between Brugmansia Adeline and Miss Emily Meckenzie. The blooms are super sized and the plant almost always has ...

This floriferous seedling is from the brugmansia cross of Painted Lady x Adeline. The blooms pictured here are cool weather blooms, which often tend to be lighter in color than those produced in warm weather. The blooms have a nice flounce to them and are long lasting.

It's a beautiful double pink Angel Trumpet from the Brugmansia cross of Adeline x Rosalie. This particular seedling was labeled #4, meaning I had several from this cross bloom last year.What makes this Angel Trumpet stand out from the other double pink brugmansia seedlings I have in my watch zone is the lush, dark green foliage. The leaves are large and slightly serrated, and the blooms ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:adelineAngel TrumpetbloomBrugmansiabrugsRosalieseedling Read more

Here's an Angel Trumpet that is suited for an enchanted forest. These first blooms from an Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross between brugmansia Adeline x Miss Caylie have a wild and crazy look to them.
