Almost two years ago I posted photos of an Angel Trumpet seedling I was growing that had rather unique pink and green coloration.  The cross was Brugmansia Painted Lady x Sam and I believe the hybridizer was Gary Morales.  Here's a photograph taken back in fall of 2008 that shows the unusual coloration.As the bloom matured it still kept the green in its coloration.  I thought the blooms were quite striking at that time.  After seeing the green continue even after a couple of bloom cycles, I ...

While out for my evening stroll through my Angel Trumpet forest, I was able to capture this beautiful moth paying a visit to Brugmansia Lady Liberty.I was hoping to get some close-up shots but this fellow skirted off in search of other blooms.  

This tiny Angel Trumpet impressed me last fall, and now it is impressing me even more this summer. The cross is between Brugmansia Naughty Nick and Cleopatra. The blooms are petite, averaging 2-3 inches across, and are always perfectly formed.  They also hold up extremely well in the heat.  The summer blooms have stayed a creamy white.  In the cooler fall weather they aged with a light apricot color.Here's a link to my blog post last fall when I first introduced this seedling - Teeny Weeny ...

Florida has some of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever encounter.  Here's some recent shots I took while strolling through my Brugmansia forest at sundown.It is almost as if the sky is on fire..Of course if I was living in southern California I would be afraid that the sky may actually be on fire...Sunrise and sundown are the best time of day to admire Angel Trumpets during our hot Florida summers.

While browsing through my Angel Trumpet seedlings last night I came across a perky little bloom from a Brugmansia Miss Ellie x Unknown cross.The bloom has a nice golden yellow color, like its mama Miss Ellie, and cute curly tendrils.  I think I'll hang on to this one and incorporate it into my fall breeding program.  It looks like a pesky housefly is hanging on to it too!  :)

Considering this plant is only two feet tall right now, Brugmansia Andrew's Gold still makes an impact.

I took a stroll through my brugmansia forest tonight and I was overwhelmed by all the blooms I encountered.  Even though our night-time low temperatures are breaking records (low's near 80f), and the highs are in the mid 90's, these plants are blooming like crazy.  The fragrance in the air was almost over-powering.Here is an assortment of the Angel Trumpets I found blooming tonight.  The first one's blooms are not really that special, but the seedling makes up for it with quantity.  I cannot ...
