A pastel Angel Trumpet just in time for summer

I'm really liking the pastel coloring on the Angel Trumpet blooms pictured below from a cross I made between Brugmansia 'Joli' and 'Pink Charm'.I'm excited about the multicolor look of the blooms as they mature.  They first start out a cream color and then during the course of a couple days they turn a salmon pink color.  The blooms pictured here opened a day apart and you can see the color transformation taking place.  This plant also had a newly opened cream colored bloom on it, but it was ...

A coily new Angel Trumpet seedling

Check out the wild and crazy look of this new Angel Trumpet seedling.  It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Joli x Pink Charm.I'm not exactly sure where it got the spiraling corolla teeth from because neither parent has curly corolla teeth. I'll have to check out the Brugmansia family tree on ibrugs.com to see where they came from.This seedling has bloomed several times over the past 6 months and so far the coiling corolla teeth have been present in all the blooms.  That is great ...

Being charmed by Brugmansia Pink Charm

Another Angel Trumpet that is putting on a summer show right now is Brugmansia Pink Charm.  While the color is not quite as dark as it would be in cooler weather, it makes up for it with the quantity of blooms.  Pink Charm also has a very pleasant scent that permeates our thick summer nighttime air. Brugmansia Pink Charm is a Monika Gottschalk Hybrid grown out from seed by Shirley Moor.  I have a bunch of seedlings with Pink Charm in the parentage that I expect to see bloom later this year. ...
