Here is the first of many I plan to register this year. I named this one Brugmansia 'Marshmallow Sunset'.This seedling originated from a Brenda Delph cross involving Brugmansia New Orleans Lady and (Angel's Flight x Charming). You can see easily see traits from both parents in these blooms. The bloom form and size is more in line with those of ...

Friday, July 23, 2010 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7133 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating A delightful triple Brugmansia that loves the heat! Here's an Angel Trumpet seedling carried over from my 2009 "watch zone" that has been blooming non-stop for the past month. My watch zone is an area where I place seedlings that show great potential for future breeding or commercial release. This little cutie is a Brenda Delph (Seedsprout) cross between Brugmansia New Orleans Lady and (Angel's Flight x Charming).Last year the majority of the blooms were double with an occasional triple. This year all the blooms have been compact triples. ... Categories:Brugmansia Tags:Angel TrumpetAngel's FlightbrugBrugmansiabrugscharmingnew orleans lady Read more
Thursday, December 24, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 14295 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating An Angel Trumpet shows off its pigtails Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling has the cutest pigtails at the end of its tendrils. It is a cross between brugmansia Mon Amour de Mareuil x (Angels Flight x Charming).As you can see, these blooms are fat and stubby, allowing them to last longer than most Angel Trumpet blooms. I do remember this one having a nice fragrance as well. I have another seedling from this cross coming into bloom in a couple of days and it will be interesting to see how the blooms compare.

Thursday, September 17, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6890 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Could this be the World's smallest double Angel Trumpet??? A couple days ago I was greeted by this tiny bud on a new Angel Trumpet seedling from a Brenda Delph cross of her unknown B4 x (Angel's Flight x Charming).At first I thought it may turn out to be a yellow or cream colored bloom. But last night it was fully open and it is a nice shade of pink.What is totally amazing is how small the bloom is. This has to be the smallest double Angel Trumpet bloom I have ever encountered. The plant itself is average in size, about 4 feet tall growing in a ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel Trumpetangels flightbloomsbrugBrugmansiacharmingSeedlings Read more
Friday, August 7, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6760 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating I need to inject some color genes in this one... Here's a cross just begging for some color. This is a brugmansia cross of New Orleans Lady x (Angel's Flight x Charming). The first couple of blooms in spring aged to a nice apricot, but during our hot summer the blooms have been white/cream with perhaps just a hint of apricot. As you can see it has great genes in the mix so I have kept this one to use for some fall crosses. It already has a pod from a cross I made in early Summer with a single bright yellow/orange Angel's Flight cross I ...
