Last year I made a bunch of crosses involving Brugmansia Axel Rose in hopes that its variegation would be passed on either by genes or by a sport on a new seedling.  The last thing I expected was to find a seedling with blooms as bright as these.  Pictured below are blooms from a cross between brugmansia Mountain Treasure and Axel Rose.  The actual color was what I would call a cantaloupe orange and is much more intense than what is shown in this picture.   The blooms are also quite large ...

Yesterday I posted a photo of an unknown double white Angel Trumpet.  I checked it out tonight and it looked like a completely different bloom. Here it is now -I wonder if it will get even darker when the plant matures?  This one will be a watcher for sure!And what a difference a couple of hours makes with this one.  I shot a picture of this shredded bloom for my Halloween post this afternoon and went I checked on it tonight, it was pink!

Seeing how today is Halloween, I figured it would only be appropriate to post a few pictures of blooms fit for Halloween.and another....and the scariest of all -

I have a bunch of brugmansia seedlings with missing or unreadable tags.   Just because the parentage is unknown, it does not mean the seedling is not worthy of keeping.  I spotted a couple of unknown Angel Trumpet blooms this afternoon that earned a second glance.  The first is a single pink that stood out because it has a very fat corolla tube.The second was a double white whose tendrils appeared to glow. The golden tipped tendrils do not show in this picture though.

This Angel Trumpet bloom is from an unknown brugmansia seedling.  I like the pillow-like look this bloom has.  The bloom is thick in texture, has a waxy appearance and nice fragrance.  I'll let it grow for a while and see how it develops.

I spotted this new Angel Trumpet bloom today that has to be one of the longest blooms I have ever spotted on a seedling.  It is from a brugmansia seedling involving a cross between Pink Beauty and Double Peach.  It is just over 20 inches long from the receptacle to the end of the bloom!  You can compare it to the normal size white bloom on the right.

This new Angel Trumpet seedling has stood out from the rest from its very first set of blooms.  The first blooms were all split and quite unusual looking.  It sure redeemed itself with its second flush with well-formed blooms bursting with color.The result of a brugmansia cross between Inca Sun x (Bert x unknown), this seedling has not stopped blooming since the first buds appeared.This new seedling is destined to be a winner.  I just wish it would stop blooming so I can grab some cuttings ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet is just another single pink.  The twin blooms pictured are the result of a cross between brugmansia Rubirosa x Dorthea.  It has Dorthea's tendrils and Rubirosa's form.   The color did not get any darker than what is pictured, but it did spread up the corolla tube.
