Working Towards A Golden Lizzy Angel Trumpet

When I first spotted this Angel Trumpet bloom I thought it was coming from an Angel's Gold Face plant.  I was totally surprised when I checked the plant tag and saw that it was actually a seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Lizzy x Orange Zest.

This was its very first bloom and it did not have its act together.  I'll be watching this seedling with interest anxiously awaiting the next set of blooms.
