Another recent bloomer from my field of brugs is this seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Sweetheart x Yellow Aurea Wildform.This photo does not really show the actual beauty of the blooms on this seedling.  What I really like about them is that the corolla skirts stay compact rather than separate as is often the case with its mother, Brugmansia Sweetheart.I have several other seedlings from this cross in bud now and am hoping some of their father's color will surface.

In my early days of hybridizing Angel Trumpets I made numerous crosses with Brugmansia Bert. 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 ...
