This new double yellow Angel Trumpet will "wow" you

My Angel Trumpet seedlings have rewarded me with a bunch of promising yellow/orange blooms this year.  Out of the entire lot, this one stands out above the rest.  It is a seedling from a cross involving Brugmansia Day Dreams x Ludger's Windsong.

daydreamsxludgerswindsong-5.jpgThe blooms are medium in size and long lasting, even in our Florida heat. 

daydreamsxludgerswindsong-4.jpgSo far it has been a great bloomer. During its most recent flush a couple of weeks ago, the 3-gallon size plant displayed more than a dozen blooms.

daydreamsxludgerswindsong-8.jpgThis Angel Trumpet has been throwing both double and triple blooms.  Because the blooms are so fluffy, even the double blooms appear to be triples.
