The outer corolla skirt had a tinge of pink in it, but the color did not intensify as the bloom matured. The blooms were not quite as large as those of its mother.I plan to carry this seedling over through summer to see how it performs in our heat.

Here is the result of a cross made between two of those ladies, Brugmansia Dorthea x Golden Lady.The snow white blooms on this seedling have some of the longest corolla teeth I have spotted in a new seedling. You can be certain that Dorthea had an influence in the striking corolla teeth found in this seedling's petite, thick textured blooms. A recent mini-flush of blooms was an eye catcher because of the ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiabrugsdortheaGolden Lady Read more

Thursday, November 12, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6985 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating An Angel Trumpet basking in the midnight mist In the wee hours of the morning today I captured this Angel Trumpet bloom peaking out from a row of seedlings. It is a seedling from a cross of brugmansia Rubirosa x Dorthea. Although it is reaching up as if to collect the evening mist, I expect the future blooms to be more nodding. This bloom just happened to be resting on a leaf causing it to point upwards. I like the color and form found in this bloom and I plan to cross it back to both Rothkirch and Rubirosa soon.

The twin blooms pictured are the result of a cross between brugmansia Rubirosa x Dorthea. It has Dorthea's tendrils and Rubirosa's form. The color did not get any darker than what is pictured, but it did spread up the corolla tube. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbloomsBrugmansiabrugsdorthearubirosaSeedlings Read more

This white Angel Trumpet is one of my favorite single whites I'm watching this summer. I have to admit I'm a sucker for blooms with crazy tendrils. This seedling is from a cross made between brugmansias Creamsicle and Dorthea.The blooms are large and they appear in flushes. I'll be anxiously waiting to see if the blooms stay white in the cooler fall weather.Oh, and the blooms have a nice fragrance too!
