Sommer Gardens / Thursday, January 20, 2011 / Categories: Seedlings This Angel Trumpet shows what happens when two great ladies join forces This week I was rewarded with a beautiful Angel Trumpet bloom from a Brenda Delph cross involving Brugmansia Terri Schindler Schiavo x New Orleans Lady.This seedling bloomed for the first time back in Spring of 2008, I almost lost this Brugmansia seedling for good during one of our previous freezes. Fortunately it has rebounded, and after taking its time growing this past summer it is finally back in bloom. I really like its crazy tendrils.I'm hoping it will color up some more as spring approaches. After capturing additional photos of the bloom tonight, I sliced it open to make it easier to pollinate. I was surprised to see it had four full skirts! I dusted it with some fresh New Orleans Lady pollen I just had gathered. Those of you who are fragrance connoisseurs are probably wondering if it has Brugmansia New Orleans Lady nice fragrance. I wish I could answer that question but I have a major head cold right now and I can't smell a thing. :( Sorry kitty, you're no meerkat! My Angel Trumpets are telling me Spring is on the way!
