This afternoon I spotted a cool new bloom on one of my Angel Trumpet seedlings.  It was missing its tag so I'm not sure what its parentage is.  Beside it were brugmansia seedlings from a cross between Masquerade and Shooting Star and seedlings from a cross between Naughty Nick and Cassies Curls.  Right now I'm leaning towards the Naughty Nick cross.  Anyways, it looks like it is going to be a keeper for sure.  It just started coloring up when I took this picture so I'm anxious to see what it ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet is proudly showing off its butter yellow blooms.  This seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Velvet Rose x Goldfinch.  Velvet Rose is one of the most durable Angel Trumpets I have growing in my yard, while Goldfinch has been struggling to remain healthy and was recently trashed.  Perhaps this seedling has retained the best genes of both parents.As you can see below, it is not a shy bloomer.  The blooms were long lasting and very fragrant.  ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet is a seedling that was carried over from my 2008 watch zone.  It is from a brugmansia seedling from a cross between (Hawaiian Double White x L'amour) x Day Dreams.This brugmansia seedling has turned out to be a real beauty. It had a major setback in last winter's freeze and had to rebound from ground level. It is just now getting large enough for me to grab a few cuttings and try and root them.  If it propagates well and remains true to itself it may be well on ...

Here's an Angel Trumpet that is suited for an enchanted forest.  These first blooms from an Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross between brugmansia Adeline x Miss Caylie have a wild and crazy look to them.  Remember, you should never judge a new brug seedling by its first set of blooms so we'll anxiously wait for the next bloom cycle to see if it can iron things out.,

Seeing how today is Friday the 13th, I figured it is only appropriate that I post bizarre photos to match the day.  Here's an Angel Trumpet you would expect to find in Whoville.I know Dr. Suess would be proud of this one -

Here's an unknown Angel Trumpet seedling from a brugmansia cross with Jazzy as the pod parent.  It has turned out to be quite the plant monster, almost as if it was on plant steroids.  For starters it is a 6 foot tall, multi-trunk plant growing in a one gallon pot that has rooted itself in the ground.  This is at least 2-3 times larger than other seedlings from the same cross. The blooms are also giants averaging 11-12 inches across.  They are thick textured, fragrant, and have a rather ...

This new Angel Trumpet seedling is such a deep pink color that it almost appears red when the bloom matures.  It is from a cross of brugmansia Rubirosa x (Peanut x Mountain Magic).It has allot going for it thanks to its great parentage.  It is a monster seedling, requiring me to use a step ladder in order to snap this picture.  I've already had a couple other seedlings from this cross bloom with a similar look and I'm watching them all.  I'm certain at least one of them will be worthy of ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling has super-sized blooms, similar in size to those of Miss Emily Meckenzie.  This brugmansia is a cross between (Luminosa x Charleston) x Native Habitat Double Peach,  I like the form and color found in these blooms and I plan to cross it back to Native Habitat Dbl Peach, New Orleans Lady and Langenbuscher Garten for starters.
