Two classic ladies join forces in this new Angel Trumpet

Here's a beautiful new pink Angel Trumpet with classic brugmansia form.  It is from a cross involving brugmansia Rosalie x Rachel.This brugmansia seedling's blooms were long lasting, had great coloration and a pleasant fragrance.  Although there are lots of nice single pinks available in the U.S., there is plenty of room for improvement in disease & pest resistance and heat tolerance. This one is worthy of watching for another season to see if it raises the bar.
