A Brugmansia with corkscrew teeth

I'm a big fan of wild corolla teeth.  When I spot a new Angel Trumpet seedling with long and crazy teeth, it almost always ends up in my watch zone.  Here is one I've been watching for the past year.  It's corkscrew tipped corolla teeth continue to grab my attention.This seedling is the outcome of an unknown cross with Brugmansia Rubirosa as the pod parent.  The long lasting blooms have remained snow white in all seasons, which is a plus.  Often blooms on a new seedling will slowly change ...

A whimsical new Brugmansia seedling

I'm a big fan of crazy corolla teeth so naturally this new Angel Trumpet seedling caught my attention right away.Unfortunately I cannot give you the name of the cross at this time because the tag was faded.  I'm sure I'll be able to eventually figure it out with the use of an infrared light and a magnifying glass. When this happens to a promising Brugmansia seedling I give the plant a new tag with a code number on it.  The old tag is also coded with the new code number and placed in a box to ...

This Brugmansia has a split personality...

This Angel Trumpet seedling appears to want to keep it's split corolla format.  The bloom is from a Brugmansia Bert a Angel's Exotic seedling.This seedling has had multiple bloom cycles since spring and with each one all the blooms have been split.  It would be cool if the bloom fanned out more, but currently they stay closed like the photo above.  I'm not sure what I will do with this seedling.  Perhaps i will just grow it out as a novelty.
