Here's a new Angel Trumpet seedling that will certainly brighten up this winter day.  The cross is Brugmansia 'Teri Shiavo' x 'Langenbuscher Garten'.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross I made between Brugmansia 'Herenhauser Gold' and 'Langenbuscher Garten'.  It is just one of dozens of new yellow Brugmansia seedlings in my growing area that have bloomed this summer.The golden yellow blooms are large in size and thick textured.The blooms on this seedling have a slight resemblance to their mother, 'Herenhauser Gold', but with a darker color.   This is the sixth seedling from this cross to bloom, and so far all six have ...

I have lots of beautiful yellow and orange Angel Trumpets in my watch zone and now one more will join the group.  The cross is Brugmansia ('Color Point' x 'Angels Flight') x 'Langenbuscher Garten'.The blooms are large and beautiful in form.  One feature that sets these blooms apart from others is the two-tone coloration of the corolla skirt.  As you can see in the photo below, the ribs are much darker than the mid section.  This is especially noticeable on the outside of the bloom.This ...

Here is a promising new seedling from a cross between two classic European Angel Trumpet plants. The cross is Brugmansia Joli x Langenbuscher Garten.In late March I featured another seedling from this same cross.  Although the blooms were single, they stood out because they were petite and very thick textured. The blooms on this seedling were not quite as small as those of its sibling, but they still were smaller than average. The blooms start out cream with a tinge of apricot, and then ...

Here is a seedling from the reverse of the Brugmansia Langenbuscher Garten x Joli cross I showcased in my previous post. This time around Brugmansia Joli is the pod parent rather than the pollen donor. This Brugmansia Joli x Langenbuscher Garten seedling has a very simple form and the blooms are very thick in texture. The thick textured blooms and great parentage justify me keeping it around for a few more seasons. The blooms started out cream and picked up a slight apricot color around the ...

My real job in the event business has kept me very busy the past couple of weeks, so I have not had time to show off some of my newest Angel Trumpet seedlings.  I'll start with this new seedling from a cross between Brugmansia Langenbuscher Garten x Joli that is currently in bloom.While the blooms are nice, currently they are really not special enough to convince me this one is going to be keeper.  It will be safe for another six months though because I crossed it back to its mother, ...

This new Angel Trumpet seedling grabbed my attention earlier this week when its first bloom opened.  It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Herrenhauser Gold and Langenbuscher Garten.Because this was the very first bloom on this seedling, the bloom is sort of a mess. I think it shows great potential and I'm certain the next blooms will be much better. I have at least 20 more seedlings of this same cross yet to bloom, several of which are setting buds now.  With such great parentage,  I ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a marriage between two European cultivars, brugmansia Joli x Langenbuscher Garten.  It's currently lacking in the color department, but that could change over the next couple bloom cycles when cooler winter weather settles in.  The blooms are much smaller than either Joli or Langenbuscher Garten, and have been long lasting.  I'm terrible when it comes to keeping track of fragrance so I have no report on that right now.I have already ...
