Here is the result of one of those crosses with Brugmansia Naughty Nick as the pollen parent.This batch of seedlings took longer than normal to bloom for the first time after being damaged in our 2009 and 2010 freezes. I have three separate seedlings from this cross in bloom right now and the blooms on all three are very similar in appearance, but the bloom size varies. On one seedling the blooms ...

Here is a new seedling that caught my eye this weekend when I first spotted its blooms. It is the result of a cross I made between Brugmansia Cassie's Curls and (Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle). So far the blooms have all been doubles with layered skirts and wild corolla teeth. The pollen parent of this cross, a Brugmansia Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle seedling I have been ...

It is from a Brenda Delph cross between Brugmansia Lady Liberty x Meloncholy Baby.The blooms have a rather unusual form to them and are thick in texture. I'm not very good at detecting fragrances but this seedling has a pleasant one strong enough to grab my attention.The blooms start out a nice cream color and slowly and slowly pick up a light apricot color as they mature.I'm not sure if this bloom ...
