I have a bunch of new double pink seedlings in bloom right now and this one has the largest blooms of all of them.Unfortunately it is missing a tag so the parentage is unknown.  I hate when that happens to a promising seedling.  Even though the parentage may be unknown, if I think the seedling has promise, I will still carry it forward and decide later if it is worthy of naming and registering, or using it in my breeding program.I believe the blooms on this seedling are larger than those of ...

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 ...

Now that our nights are cooling off I'm starting to see lots of color in my field of Angel Trumpets.  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 ...
