It is a carry over from last year that I have been watching this summer. This seedling is from a Brenda Delph seed cross of brugmansia Butterfly x (Teri Shiavo x Earth Angel).I plant to cross it back to both Teri Shiavo and Earth Angel when the weather cools. I'll decide this fall if it deserves to be named and registered. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbloomsBrugmansiabrugsButterflyEarth AngelSeedlingsTeri Shiavo Read more
Wednesday, October 7, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7832 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating This Angel Trumpet needs a curling iron... I'm not sure where these long tendrils came from, but they sure would look better if they had some curl to them! Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between brugmansia New Orleans Lady and Mountain Magic.I'm hoping the color will flush out the green in the corolla tube the next time it blooms. If not, it will be destined for the compost pile this winter. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel Trumpetbrugmansia. brugsmountain magicnew orleans ladyseedling Read more
Wednesday, October 7, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6831 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating A tale of two Smittys, an Angel Trumpet two for Tuesday! Seeing how I posted today's seedling so early in the morning, I figured why not make this a "two for Tuesday" and post another new Angel Trumpet seedling? Better yet, I'll post two more! Actually it's just a single photo with two unique blooms. Both are seedlings of a Brugmansia cross between Pink Smitty and an unknown father. One is a double and the other a single. While it appears they are growing on the same plant, they are actually on separate plants growing side by side. Actually ...

Tuesday, October 6, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6722 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating I'm really liking this Angel Trumpet seedling This Angel Trumpet seedling has been an over achiever since it first bloomed in early summer. It is the result of a cross between a brugmansia Jacyana x The Chief seedling x an unknown father. I grew out about a dozen Jacyana x The Chief seedlings from seeds I obtained from Liz Fichtl. All but three were trashed, and of those remaining three, only one is a "keeper" that I plan to register this fall. The mother of this seedling was the only Jacyana x The Chief seedling that bloomed white, ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbloomsbrugBrugmansiajacyanaSeedlingsthe chief Read more
Monday, October 5, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7568 / Comments: / Article rating: 5.0 This brugmansia is having a bad hair day Here is another Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross I made between brugmansia Masquerade and Inca Sun. While I was hoping for yellow, the snow white blooms and their wild and crazy tendrils still grab your attention.This bloom has a very strong resemblance to its mama, Masquerade, and looks like a keeper for sure. It will definitely be crossed back to Inca Sun this fall. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbloomsbrugBrugmansiainca sunmasqueradeSeedlings Read more
Friday, October 2, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 5842 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating An Angel Trumpet that jazzes things up Brugmansia Jazzy is one of my favorite yellow Angel Trumpets. As a result I made a bunch of crosses with it last year. Here is a bloom from a seedling from a cross mother nature made, brugmansia Jazzy x an unknown father.The blooms have a slight resemblance to Jazzy but are much larger. The color of Jazzy is a bit deeper yellow/orange than this one, but most likely the color of this bloom will deepen when the weather cools down. I have lots of jazzy seedlings I expect to bloom this fall ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbloomsbrugBrugmansiajazzySeedlings Read more
Thursday, October 1, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 6505 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating A mellow yellow Angel Trumpet I've had several Angel Trumpet seedlings from this cross of brugmansia L'Amour and Charles Grimaldi bloom so far and all are single yellows. Many look almost identical to Charles Grimaldi, however this one stood out because of its smooth lines. I'm already watching a couple of earlier seedlings from this cross, and now this one will join it's siblings in my watch zone to see how it performs in the long run.

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 7368 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating What's up with this angel trumpet??? Here's a new Angel Trumpet bloom from a cross made between brugmansia Angel's Moonlight and Cassie's Curls. I'm not sure if I like this style of bloom and should work with it, or send it to the compost pile.This one seedling has already had several blooms and they all have this form. This tells me it is most likely not an anomaly and is the way this plant is going to bloom. I think I will keep it around to see what it looks like when it has a flush and then decide to keep or toss it.What ...
