You may recall from previous posts that this is a cross where I'm growing close to 100 seedlings from the same cross in order to document the broad range of blooms produced.At first glance this seedling did not do much for me.

In this case it was a mixture of seeds from several pods of the same cross, resulting in about 100 ... Categories:Brugmansia Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiaORANGE SUNSHINEPINK SMITTY Read more
