Friday, August 28, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 4694 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Interesting, but not sure if worth keeping This hybrid brugmansia cross between Orange Sunshine and Pink Smitty has already produced a bunch of single white Angel Trumpets. This week one of the seedlings finally produced some color. The blooms are sort of an off white rimmed with yellow.This cross is one of several where I decided to grow out an entire seed pod so I could document the great diversity in blooms from a single cross. In this case it was a mixture of seeds from several pods of the same cross, resulting in about 100 ... Categories:Brugmansia Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiaORANGE SUNSHINEPINK SMITTY Read more

While I'm on the subject of unknowns, here's a beautiful double pink Angel Trumpet that came into bloom this week. It is missing its tag but hey, when you look as nice as this brugmansia does, who cares who your parents are. This one will be a keeper for sure. I plan to chop up a portion of it this weekend to see how easy it propagates. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansia Read more

Just because I don't know their parentage does not mean the brugmansia is not worthy of keeping or breeding.Here is an unknown white that has been blooming like crazy this summer.I'm not sure I'll use it for anything, but I feel it is worthy of at least planting in the yard and letting it grow.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 4479 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Less than a handful... Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a mini as you can see by the photo below. It is the result of a cross made between brugmansia Goldfinch x Rubirosa. The plant itself is not a mini in any way and is actually over 6 feet tall in a 3 gallon pot. The blooms are nothing special, but they do have a good substance and hold up well in the heat.I'll keep this one around for a while to see if the blooms remain small.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 4361 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating How sassy will this one be? This is the third seedling of this Angel Trumpet cross of brugmansia Sassy x Tiara to bloom. Both of the previous two seedlings had single blooms and only one was worthy of watching. Now this one can join its sibling in my watch zone.Seeing how this is the first bloom for this seedling, we'll have to wait a few more bloom cycles to see how the bloom matures and what the final color will be.

I wonder what is going through this little fellow's mind as he gazes towards this trumpet. Hopefully he is eying one of the caterpillars or slugs that have been munching on my leaves!
