Many of my Brugmansia seedlings are switching into bloom mode for the first time and now the challenging task of deciding which ones are worthy of watching begins.  Here's one from a cross I made between Brugmansia Cherub x Orange Parfait.It has a simple elegant look to it, but I'm not certain it is special enough to carry forward.  I'll probably watch this one for a few more bloom cycles to see how it performs as the seedling matures.

Another golden orange Angel Trumpet seedling I decided to place in my watch zone was this nice one resulting from a cross I made between Brugmansia Cherub and Orange Parfait.Cherub is one of the most durable brugs available so I made numerous crosses with it in hopes of passing on its genes for pest resistance and quality growth characteristics.  It also performs well in containers, another trait I'm hoping its genes pass on.  Orange Parfait is a recent Sommer Gardens introduction that is ...

Here is another offspring from the many crosses I made with Brugmansia 'Cherub'.  This angel trumpet  seedling is from a cross of Brumansia 'Cherub' x (Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie) #1.The picture above was taken on day one before it was fully open.  As you have most likely guessed, this bloom was sliced open after I shot these photos so it could be pollinated.  :)  The bloom did open up to a very nice full double.  The blooms on this seedling are medium in size and remain the soft pink color ...

If you like your Angel Trumpets to have a light salmon color with great form, than you will like this seedling.  It is from a cross involving Brugmansia 'Cherub' x 'Orange Parfait'.Brugmansia 'Cherub' is a super performer here in Florida. It remains relatively bug free and forms a nice bloom canopy.  I used 'Cherub' in lots of crosses back in 2009 because of those qualities.Brugmansia 'Orange Parfait' is a recent introduction of Sommer Gardens that is a real winner.  It has masses of blooms ...

A couple of weeks ago I featured a nice double pink Angel Trumpet from a cross I made involving Brugmansia Cherub x (Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie #1).  Here's another promising seedling from that same cross.The blooms are the same soft pink color as the other seedling and are thick in texture.  Like its mother, this seedling loves our Florida weather.As you can see this seedling likes to display its blooms in an upward position.  This may be a desirable trait for a potted plant but I'm not sure ...
