Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Rubiline x Pink Smitty.  As you can see, the bloom has a very strong resemblance to it's daddy, Pink Smitty.  When I snapped this picture it was still int he 80's at night so the bloom looks sort of wilted.  Any brug that holds up under our hot Florida summer weather is certainly worth watching.  Right now this is just another double pink to me so it will need to prove its worthiness if it is to remain in my breeding ...

Although not quite the outcome you would expect from this Angel Trumpet cross between German Brugmansia Friemersheim x Super Spot, it is still a striking bloom.  This flower had a nice golden color and form, and the ruffled edges make it stand out.  Seeing how this is the very first bloom for this seedling, I'll watch it for a few more bloom cycles to see how it evolves.

This beautiful Angel Trumpet bloom is from seedling #7 from a cross between brugmansia Jacyana x The Chief.  I had a total of eight seedlings from this cross bloom last year and I carried three of them over to 2009 to watch.  This seedling is a vigorous grower and is currently over 8 feet tall.  Another seedling from this cross has similar blooms but has stayed less than 4 feet tall, earning it a slot on my "To be registered" list for this fall.

Here's another Angel Trumpet seedling from the cross between brugmansia Orange Sunshine x Pink Smitty.  You may recall from previous posts that this is a cross where I'm growing close to 100 seedlings from the same cross in order to document the broad range of blooms produced.At first glance this seedling did not do much for me.  But after it had 5-6 blooms open at once, it stood out.  The blooms are large, snow white, and all have separated or stacked skirts.  It is a vigorous grower and ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is an offspring from a cross between brugmansia Genevieve x Safari.  The plant is vigorous, the blooms are substantial and fragrant, and it is thriving in the heat.  I'll cross it back to Genevieve this fall in hopes of producing a Genevieve style bloom with color.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is the 7th seedling to bloom from a brugmansia cross made by Volker Sanders involving Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta.  There's no color in this one but it does have a wild and crazy looking bloom.  The blooms are nice and plump and so far this plant has remained much smaller than the other seedlings from this cross.This seedling starting blooming last fall, but had to be cut back to the ground following last winter's freeze.  It is planted in the ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a carry over from 2008 that I plan to name and register this fall.  It is the result of a J.T. Session's brugmansia cross involving Goldfinch x Peanut.As you can see, the blooms tend to stay horizontal or slightly nodding.  The tendrils start out sort of wild but over the course of a couple of days they completely re-curve back.The blooms are petite and compact, like its father, Peanut.  I remember the blooms staying a light pink last winter, and ...

Here's an Angel Trumpet seedling that is one Goliath of a plant.  Towering over 10 feet tall, this brugmansia cross involving Painted Lady and The Chief is nearly twice the size of other seedlings started at the same time last summer.  It is still trying to get its act together.  The majority of the blooms are doubles, but it does throw out an occasional single bloom from time to time to confuse me.  It has been blooming on and off all summer so the heat does not bother it.  I noticed last ...
