Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling features large, flamboyant style, soft pink blooms. This floriferous seedling is from the brugmansia cross of Painted Lady x Adeline.  The blooms pictured here are cool weather blooms, which often tend to be lighter in color than those produced in warm weather. The blooms have a nice flounce to them and are long lasting.  The plant has been a vigorous grower and has remained pest free.  I'll watch this one into next summer to see how it performs.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between brugmansia Rubirosa x Little Miss Lili.  The bloom is thick textured and long lasting with a pleasant fragrance. The coloration deepened the day after I took this picture to a very deep reddish pink. I'm certain that trait was inherited from the father, Little Miss Lili, one of the darkest reddish pink cultivars I have in my collection.  This one is still a little rough around the edges so I will continue to watch it ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling has the cutest pigtails at the end of its tendrils.  It is a cross between brugmansia Mon Amour de Mareuil x (Angels Flight x Charming).As you can see, these blooms are fat and stubby, allowing them to last longer than most Angel Trumpet blooms.  I do remember this one having a nice fragrance as well.  I have another seedling from this cross coming into bloom in a couple of days and it will be interesting to see how the blooms compare.

While everyone knows of the Blue Bird of happiness, well I've encountered the Blue Jay of happiness.  This cutie has been hanging out in a group of my older brugmansia seedlings for a couple of weeks now.  It tends to hang out near me when I'm out there and as you can see, it does not seem to be afraid either.  Could this be love???

No I'm not referencing the acid LSD, I'm talking about another form of LSD.  LSD is the abbreviation for the Angel Trumpet Ludger's Summer Dream, a nice single yellow/orange introduced by Brenda Delph.  It was just one of her many "monkey crosses"  she grew from seed from brugmansia crosses made by Ludger Schneider of Germany.  This seedling is from a brugmansia cross involving Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle.  When you first glance at this flower bud you would think the plant was having ...

One of my primary hybridizing goals when I was making crosses last season was to try and create some new double orange and yellow Angel Trumpets. I'm finally starting to see the results of those crosses and my pool of double yellow/orange seedlings to work with is starting to grow,  Within this group I'm hoping a few winners will surface, even if it takes a couple more generations of crosses to achieve this goal.  Today's featured seedling is one that may show some potential in future ...

This is a follow-up post to the Itsy bitsy teeny weeney Angel Trumpet post I made a few days ago.  I wanted to wait until the second bud opened to make certain this seedling was going to continue to produce miniature blooms, and it has!  I'm totally psyched!  This seedling is going to perform an important role in my future breeding program.  Here is a bloom from Naughty Nick x Cleopatra fully open:As you can see, the blooms are triples and there is even a tinge of color in them.  I do not ...

In celebration of Christmas Day, I figured it would only be appropriate that I feature a nice white Angel Trumpet.  Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is one that I started way back in late 2007 that finally started blooming this fall.  The cross is brugmansia Ecuador Pink x Creamsicle. When you make brugmansia crosses involving double varieties, you often end up with several double whites in the group of seedlings.  Because of this, they really have to be special in order to grab your ...
