Friday, December 4, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 18419 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating This Angel Trumpet has piqued my curiosity.... This Angel Trumpet seedling's bloom has a striking resemblance to the first blooms of another seedling involving The Chief that I recently registered. That cross was featured here back in October. I named it Lizzy and it was an offspring from a cross involving brugmansia Rubirosa x The Chief. Today's featured Angel Trumpet is from a cross of Brugmansia Pink Smitty x The Chief. It is too early to tell if I have another winner on my hands. The first bloom, pictured below, was a triple. It ...

I grew this beauty from brugmansia seeds I purchased from JT Sessions at Country Gardens. The cross is brugmansia Goldfinch x Peanut.The blooms are more petite than most doubles with a color that is hard to describe. The cooler the weather, the darker the blooms. As the blooms mature the tendrils appear to wrap even tighter towards the bloom. This plant has ...

These pictures do not do really show how beautiful this Angel Trumpet seedling really is. It is a carry over seedling from 2008 from a cross between brugmansia Butterfly x ((Tiara x Susanne) x Earth Angel).The blooms are large, long lasting, and quite showy.This one is quickly working its way up to my keeper zone. Don't be surprised to see it named and introduced in 2010. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiabrugsButterflyEarth AngelSusannetiara Read more

It's another seedling from the cross between brugmansia Orange Sunshine and Pink Smitty. The only thing special about this bloom is that it is a monster. The face of the bloom has to be at least 12 inches across! Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbloomsBrugmansiabrugsORANGE SUNSHINEPINK SMITTYSeedlingssommer gardens Read more

It is a cross between brugmansia Color Point x Angel's Flight, both from Germany. The blooms are large and plentiful and the plant is a vigorous grower. It has a very strong resemblance to its mother, Color Point. I have used this Angel Trumpet seedling in dozens and dozens of crosses since last year, both as a pod parent and as a father. I'm hoping a few of the Angel's Flight genes have been ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetAngel's FlightBrugmansiabrugsColor Pointgermansommer gardens Read more

Today's Angel Trumpet is getting its act together with its form, but it is certainly needs an injection of color. This seedling is an offspring from a brugmansia cross involving Miss 'B Havin x Seminole Moon. Several blooms preceded the one pictured, but none have colored up more than this one shows. We just had some cool weather move in so maybe that will have an influence on the next bloom that is about to open. After shooting this photo I pollinated this bloom with some pollen from ...

Friday, November 27, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 18542 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating This Angel Trumpet would make daddy proud Here's an Angel Trumpet seedling that bears a strong resemblance to its father, Rosalie. Today's featured seedling is a cross between brugmansia Bernstein x Rosalie. Now if we could just get Bernstein's bright orange color into this bloom, and add Rosalie's hardiness and blooming ability, we would surely have a winner. This seedling has potential and will be used in further hybridizing. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbernsteinBrugmansiabrugsRosalie Read more
