Another great surprise and certainly a nice way to end the year was spotting these Angel Trumpet blooms on a seedling from Brugmansia Hawaiian Double White x (L'Amour x Day Dreams).This seedling was carried over from 2009 and finally came back in bloom after a near death experience in last year's freeze. The calyx is normally not dry and crispy as shown in the photo, that is just the effect from our most recent freeze.These blooms have a very strong resemblance to Brugmansia Day Dreams. ...

Wednesday, December 5, 2007 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7401 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Double Pleasure I recently was rewarded with a couple of new double blooms on my Brugmansia seedlings. The yellow one is the one that I'm most excited about. It is a cross between Hawaiian Double White x Ecuador Pink and Jamie's Monkey Business. It only had the one bloom when I snapped this picture but several new buds have recently formed and should be open before the new year. This was just one of several plants I have from this cross but it is the only one with double yellow blooms. ...
