An Angel Trumpet that thinks it's a rose...
Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling has such a full bloom it almost looks as if the flower is a rose, or other full bodied flower like a mum or carnation. This beautiful bloom was produced by an Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross between brugmansia Naughty Nick x Cleopatra.
Based on the parentage, this seedling has a double dose of color genes in it. How cool would it be to have a future cross generate a yellow or orange bloom like the one above?! When I sliced the bloom open I found four separate skirts. Below is bloom number two just starting to open.
This seedling quickly graduated to my watch zone and a nice comfortable 7 gallon pot.
