Here's a nicely colored bloom on an Angel Trumpet seedling from one of Mother Nature's crosses involving brugmansia Southern Charm.  I'm certain the father was either Ludger's Windsong or Jazzy, as both were growing within 10 yards of Southern Charm.  I would cross it back to Southern Charm but I do not believe I still have that cultivar.  I'll try some brugmansia America pollen on the next bloom and see what the results are.  It sure would be nice to have this color transferred over to a ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling has a rich cantaloupe color.  It is a seedling from the cross of brugmansia Pink Perfektion x Cassies Curls. The blooms are slightly fragrant and long lasting. Seeing how this is the first seedling from this cross to bloom, I'll let it hang around for a while just in case I need it to cross back to its siblings.  Compared to some of the other "oranges" I have in my watch zone already, I'm not sure this one is special enough to move up to the watch zone. 

As I have mentioned before, the Angel Trumpet cross between brugmansia Orange Sunshine x Pink Smitty is one where I am growing out an entire seed pod so that I can document the wide variety of blooms a single cross will produce.  I can't remember the exact count, but I know I have well over 100 seedlings from this cross growing.  So far most of the seedlings that have bloomed from this cross have been single or double whites.  None have earned a spot in my keeper zone, but a few are worthy ...

Today I'm featuring another Angel Trumpet seedling that was carried over from my 2008 watch zone.  It's a beautiful double pink Angel Trumpet from the Brugmansia cross of Adeline x Rosalie.  This particular seedling was labeled #4, meaning I had several from this cross bloom last year.What makes this Angel Trumpet stand out from the other double pink brugmansia seedlings I have in my watch zone is the lush, dark green foliage.  The leaves are large and slightly serrated, and the blooms ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is one I carried over from 2008 to watch.  It is from a cross of brugmansia Genevieve x Rothkirch.  Rothkirch is a legendary brugmansia whose genes have enriched dozens of named cultivars.  What I like most about this particular cross is the rich pink color and that the color runs all the way up the corolla tube.  I plan to cross this one back to several of Rothkirch's siblings to see what the next generation brings.

Of course I'm referencing Angel Trumpet Jamie's Monkey Business, who happens to be the mother of this fine seedling. This seedling was the first one to bloom from a batch I have growing from the cross between brugmansia Jamie's Monkey Business x Angel's Moonlight.  At one point all the tendrils were pointing straight up, but now they are becoming a bit more relaxed.I'm awaiting a big surprise this week when this seedling's neighbor, a seedling from Jamie's Monkey Business x America, first ...

If you asked Santa for a nice double pink Angel Trumpet for Christmas, you would certainly be pleased to receive this one.  For a first bloom, this one was awesome. The color of this bloom was an unexpected outcome from a cross between brugmansia (Jacayna x The Chief) #5 x America.  The JACH5 seedling that produced this seedling was a bright yellow-orange single and America is one of my favorite double whites.  Here's a photo of the two parents together.This is why hybridizing brugmansia is ...

This new double Angel Trumpet seedling has an unusual flare to its blooms.  It is the first seedling to bloom from a cross I made between brugmansia Painted Lady x (Haik Vixen x Creamsicle #4).  The bloom is above average size with the inner skirt being slightly larger than the outer skirt.  This first bloom should color up a bit more as well.  I shot this picture the first day it was open.Below is photo I shot last night, the second day the bloom was open.The second bloom on this seedling ...
