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 ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiabrugsgenevieveorange zest Read more

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 ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel's SwingtimebrugBrugmansiabrugsorange zest Read more

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 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 ...

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 ...
