Even in our hot and steamy summer weather, this Angel Trumpet seedling continues to wow me.  While most of my brugs are taking a break from blooming right now, this Brugmansia Creamsicle x Shooting Star seedling continues to produce flush after flush of beautiful blooms. I shot this photo yesterday morning and as you can see, a couple of fruit flies are finding this bloom scrumptious as well.I plan to name and register this seedling next month.  It is a vigorous grower and roots easily so it ...

This rather striking bloom caught me by surprise early this morning.  It is from a cross I made involving Brugmansia (Joli x Unknown) x New Orleans Lady.This jumbo sized bloom was unique in shape and quite impressive. The mother, Brugmansia Joli x Unknown is a single white seedling I have been watching for three years now.  It closely resembles a white version of Brugmansia Joli and I am still undecided if I want to register and release it.  New Orleans Lady, the pollen parent, is a nice ...

This new Angel Trumpet seedling is showing off coloration similar to that of Brugmansia Georgia Peach.  It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Orange Zest and Genevieve.The blooms start out cream colored and then turn more golden with a hint of pink. While this bloom is a bit ragged looking from our summer heat and thunderstorms, I feel this seedling has potential and is worthy of watching. I have also been impressed by a couple of other seedlings from this cross.I bet the coloration ...

One morning last week I was greeted with this rather unique bloom on a new Angel Trumpet seedling.  The cross is Brugmansia Angel's Swingtime x Orange Zest.It appears as if this seedling wants to have multi-skirted blooms, but currently it is confused.  That is not that uncommon because many times it takes multiple bloom cycles for a seedling to get its act together and the blooms stabilize.  That is why it is important for hybridizers to grow a seedling out for multiple seasons before ...

Here's another nice double pink Angel Trumpet that has been blooming frequently this summer.  The seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Painted Lady and Adeline.The blooms on this seedling are nicely formed and average in size.  With so many new double pink seedlings in bloom, it is really going to be a challenge for me to decide which ones are worthy of naming and registering.

This Angel Trumpet seedling has some of the brightest yellow blooms I have encountered.  The seedling is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Sommerzauber and Cassies Curls.This seedling closely resembles another seedling from this same cross I featured this spring.  Brugmansia Sommerzauber is a Monika Gottschalk introduction that often produces golden color blooms under the right growing conditions.  Cassies Curls was introduced by Park Seed and has deep golden yellow blooms with cute ...

Another seedling from my Brugmansia Angel's Exotic x Inca Sun cross has earned a spot in my watch zone.  This one more closely resembles its mother, Angels Exotic than the other seedlings from this cross I placed in my watch zone earlier.The more I look at this Angel Trumpet bloom the more it resembles a white/cream colored Angels Exotic bloom. If Angels Exotic happens to be in bloom the next time this seedling blooms, I'll take a picture of the two together for comparison.I plan to ...

This crisp yellow Angel Trumpet bloom is from an unknown cross with Brugmansia Miss Ellie as the pod parent.We can thank the bees for helping produce this beauty.  I had placed this seedling in my watch zone last summer and now it has earned itself keeper status. It is now in my queue of Brugmansia to be named and registered later this year.  The blooms are similar in size to those of its mother, Miss Ellie, but with longer corolla teeth and more intense color.  The plant is a vigorous ...
