The blooms on this new Angel Trumpet seedling have great form, but the color is rather drab.  The cross is Brugmansia Rubiline x (Creamsickle x Candida Pink).Although the color appears darker in this night shot, the blooms start out a cream color and turn more of a dull apricot/yellow as they mature.The plant has been a vigorous grower with frequent flushes of blooms. I don't think this one is worthy of registering but it is too showy for me to just toss.  I think I may chop this one up next ...

Here's a new Angel Trumpet seedling that has been blooming almost non-stop since summer.  It is from a Brenda Delph cross between Brugmansia Lady Liberty x Meloncholy Baby.The blooms have a rather unusual form to them and are thick in texture.  I'm not very good at detecting fragrances but this seedling has a pleasant one strong enough to grab my attention.The blooms start out a nice cream color and slowly and slowly pick up a light apricot color as they mature.I'm not sure if this bloom ...

This Brugmansia Orange Zest x Genevieve seedling has been putting on quite a show lately.  The unusual bloom form is unlike any I have seen before.  The inner corolla skirt is at least twice as wide as the outer skirt and it fans out about 8-9" across.  When you factor in the corolla teeth you are looking at a bloom that is nearly a foot wide!I grew out quite a few seedlings from this cross and several have been special enough to make their way into my watch zone.  So far all of them have ...

This recent bloomer from my Angel Trumpet seedlings has a rich golden orange color.  It is from a cross i made between Brugmansia Ludgers Windsong x (Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta) #8.While this seedling is certainly not special enough to register, I plan to use it in a few crosses this winter.  I have had some great results with crosses made with my Color Point x Double Bark Rosetta seedlings.  The Brugmansia (Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta) #8 seedling used for the pollen parent in ...

I have been watching this new Angel Trumpet seedling bloom throughout the summer and now I need to decide if I should keep it.  It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Angel's Exotic x Inca Sun.I think I'll at least keep this one through the winter to see what the color does during the cooler weather.  So far it has stayed a cream color, but the cooler weather may bring out a slight apricot hue.Deciding which seedlings to keep is one of the toughest parts of plant hybridizing.  I'll ...

When two classic Angel Trumpet ladies join forces, you never know what to expect.  Here is the result of a cross made between two of those ladies, Brugmansia Dorthea x Golden Lady.The snow white blooms on this seedling have some of the longest corolla teeth I have spotted in a new seedling.  You can be certain that Dorthea had an influence in the striking corolla teeth found in this seedling's petite, thick textured blooms.    A recent mini-flush of blooms was an eye catcher because of the ...

This petite Angel Trumpet bloom is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Naughty Nick x Cleopatra.This seedling is one of several from this cross that I carried over into my watch zone last year.  One of those has blooms that look similar to these, however that seedling's blooms pick-up a slight apricot color as they mature.  So far the seedling featured here stays white from start to finish.The blooms on this seedling are full and petite, averaging less than 3 inches across.  The plant is ...
