Here's one that made it to my watch list. It is from a cross of Brugmansia (Bert x Unknown) x America.Unfortunately I do not have additional photos showing how the bloom matured because I sliced these open to harvest their pollen and then dust them with some other pollen. The final color ended up being a nice rich orange color.I have other seedlings from this same cross that should be ...

This is one out of control Angel Trumpet bloom! It is the first seedling to bloom from a cross I made between Brugmansia (Bert x Unknown) x Genevieve.It looks like something you would only see for sale on eBay. It will be interesting to see how this seedling develops. Typically new seedlings with multi-skirt blooms will see the blooms evolve over the first few bloom cycles.

Here is a new Angel Trumpet sedling that is blooming with split blooms. It is a cross between Brugmansia Inca Sun and an unknown Bert cross.It is not uncommon to see a split bloom on a plant from time to time. What is unusual is that this seedling is having its second flush and all the blooms are split, just like in the first flush. I wonder if this trait will continue as the plant matures?
