Today's new Angel Trumpet seedling is trying its best to impress me with its orange blooms, but it still has a long way to go to become a keeper.  This is a cross between brugmansia Olympic Flame x (Creamsicle x Candida Pink).  The plant has become a monster, towering about 8 feet tall in less than a year.  It is not a shy bloomer, however the blooms do not hold up well in the heat.  This one may be a good candidate for my yard, or maybe even the compost pile.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross involving brugmansia Rubirosa x Sam.  With great parents like those you would expect this seedling to be a winner, and it is!   I have another seedling from this cross that has bloomed and the blooms are even nicer.  This one will get moved up to a larger pot and placed in my watch zone to see how it performs in the long run.  I also plan to cross it back to Rubirosa when the next set of blooms open.

While out making my rounds last night I found another Angel Trumpet seedling blooming from my brugmansia cross between (Rosamond x L'amour) and Inca Sun.  You can see similar coloration as the seedling I posted on my blog yesterday.  This bloom is much larger though, nearly a foot across, and is star shaped.  There are more seedlings from this cross in bud now so we'll see soon what other surprises are in store for us.

Here's an Angel Trumpet that really wowed me over the weekend.  This is the first seedling to bloom from a cross I made last fall between brugmansia (Rosamond x L'amour) x Inca Sun. The photos do not do justice to the intense orange color found in these blooms.  The blooms were waxy in appearance and very fragrant, which is an added bonus.Finding so many great new orange blooming seedlings this fall, I'm going to have a tough time creating a short list of ones to watch in 2010.

This fall my seedlings have rewarded me with dozens of new golden yellow/orange blooms.  Yesterday I found this bloom on a brugmansia seedling from a cross between Mountain Treasure x Inca Sun.I'll be anxious to see if Inca Sun's blooming qualities are passed on to this seedling.  It has plenty of good qualities that make it worthy of watching for a few more seasons. 

This Angel Trumpet bloom shines above rest during today's early morning sunrise.  It is a seedling from a cross between brugmansia Mon Amour de Mareuil x Shooting Star.  The blooms on this seedling are very fragrant and long lasting but so far the color has not intensified past a light apricot color.  I recently crossed it back to several deep orange cultivars in hopes of injecting more color into this cross.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Jazzy x Naughty Nick.  This is the second seedling from this cross to bloom for me this summer. I featured the first seedling in late September and if you compare the two sets of blooms, they are look similar. The main difference between the two seedlings is that this one has more of a caramel color and the other seedling had salmon colored blooms.There are a bunch more seedlings from this cross to bloom and I'm ...

Here's another Angel Trumpet seedling with Axel Rose in the mix.  It is a cross between brugmansia Axel Rose x Genevieve.  The blooms are what I call average in size and are a deep golden orange color.  I have lots of seedlings involving Axel Rose yet to bloom and it will be interesting to see if any break out of the yellow-orange trend the blooms to date have had.For those of you not familiar with Axel Rose, it is a green on green variegated sport from Maya, another variegated brugmansia. ...
