This Angel Trumpet seedling is a sibling to one I featured last month. It was placed in my watch zone last Spring and since then it has developed into a real gem.  The cross is Brugmansia Cassies Curls x (Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle).The bloom on the left almost appears as if it is a dancing flame.  Another trait that I really like with these blooms is that the color extends all the way up the corolla tube.  I plan to continue to watch this one into the summer before deciding if it is ...

One of the more striking blooms appearing in my watch zone this week was this one on an Angel Trumpet seedling I carried over from last summer.  The cross is Brugmansia Cassies Curls x (Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle).The blooms are thick textured with the deep orange color extending all the way up the corolla tube. The bloom form is simple with an inner skirt that is often split.  I have several seedlings from this same cross in my watch zone.  All have the same rich color, but with ...

Now that our nights are cooling off I'm starting to see lots of color in my field of Angel Trumpets.  Here is a new seedling that caught my eye this weekend when I first spotted its blooms.  It is the result of a cross I made between Brugmansia Cassie's Curls and (Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle). So far the blooms have all been doubles with layered skirts and wild corolla teeth.  The pollen parent of this cross, a Brugmansia Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle seedling I have been ...

I guess I must have been a good boy this year because I have a great new bright orange Brugmansia seedling in bloom.  This beautiful Angel Trumpet bloom is from a seedling from a cross of Ludger's Windsong x (Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle).As you can see by the photo below this seedling is a nice triple.  The bright Orange color is consistent throughout the bloom.I'm really looking forward to seeing how this seedling develops. I'm already watching a couple of other seedlings with ...

Seeing how we do not have the traditional fall color change down here in Florida, I have decided share photos of the golden color we do have.  During the next 7-10 days I'm going share photos of golden colored Angel Trumpet blooms.  They will all be from seedlings that have either just recently bloomed, or are currently in bloom.  I'll start with a photo from this very promising Angel Trumpet seedling involving a cross between Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong x (Ludger's Summer Dream x ...

No I'm not referencing the acid LSD, I'm talking about another form of LSD.  LSD is the abbreviation for the Angel Trumpet Ludger's Summer Dream, a nice single yellow/orange introduced by Brenda Delph.  It was just one of her many "monkey crosses"  she grew from seed from brugmansia crosses made by Ludger Schneider of Germany.  This seedling is from a brugmansia cross involving Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle.  When you first glance at this flower bud you would think the plant was having ...
