Angel Trumpet Shooting Star kisses Creamsicle and the results look quite nice! This Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Creamsicle and Shooting Star. Not bad for a first bloom.I'm sure the next blooms will be even more spectacular. I took these photos last night and I'm anxious to see what they look like today.

Wednesday, September 2, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6309 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating I like it, I like it! This white Angel Trumpet is one of my favorite single whites I'm watching this summer. I have to admit I'm a sucker for blooms with crazy tendrils. This seedling is from a cross made between brugmansias Creamsicle and Dorthea.The blooms are large and they appear in flushes. I'll be anxiously waiting to see if the blooms stay white in the cooler fall weather.Oh, and the blooms have a nice fragrance too!

My brugmansia Ambrosia x Creamsicle bloom is almost open but the color has not changed much.

Friday, December 28, 2007 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7025 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Anticipation..... One of the toughest parts of growing out brugmansia seedlings is waiting for the blooms to open. Sometimes it takes weeks for the buds to open. Of course the more you watch them, the longer it takes them to open. With brugs, the dominant color is white. For me this equates to about every three out of four seedlings I grow having white blooms. This monster bud is playing with my mind right now.
