Sommer Gardens / Tuesday, September 22, 2009 / Categories: Brugmansia, Seedlings When you wish upon a Shooting Star, Brugmansia Shooting Star that is... Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between Brugmansia Mon Amour de Mareuil and Shooting Star. I'm not sure what I think of this one, but I'll watch it for a while to see what it does.A few years ago finding a double pink from one your seedlings was a big deal. Now with the expanded gene pool available in the U.S., it can be a common occurrence. I already have more than 20 new double pinks I am watching and out of that group I only have 2-3 that I feel are worthy of registering and cultivating. Doubles usually take a couple of seasons, and many bloom cycles to settle in to a regular bloom pattern, good or bad. I'll probably end up crossing this one back to Shooting Star this Fall in hopes that Shooting Star's genes will be strong enough to create a double orange in the next generation of seedlings.
