A mellow yellow Angel Trumpet

I've had several Angel Trumpet seedlings from this cross of brugmansia L'Amour and Charles Grimaldi bloom so far and all are single yellows.  Many look almost identical to Charles Grimaldi, however this one stood out because of its smooth lines.  I'm already watching a couple of earlier seedlings from this cross, and now this one will join it's siblings in my watch zone to see how it performs in the long run.

Yellow, yellow and more yellow...

I've had several new yellow Angel Trumpet blooms this month and this is one that may be worthy of watching.  It is a cross of brugmansia L'Amour and the classic Charles Grimaldi.It has a nice form, substance and fragrance.I wonder what the color will be like when the weather cools?
