Today's featured whites include two brugmansia crosses with Velvet Rose as the mother.  The first involves a cross between Velvet Rose x Goldfinch.  The blooms are petite and numerous, and hold up well in the heat.If you like your blooms big, this cross between Velvet Rose x Native Habitat Double Peach should get your attention.Like it's mother, this Angel Trumpet blooms like crazy and has a pleasant fragrance.

Actually it is a Sweetheart cross involving brugmansia Sweetheart x (Miss Caylie x Genevieve).  The picture below shows a bloom on the first day and by day 2 the green portion of the corolla tube became white.  I have several single white seedlings from this cross in bloom right now.  They really put on a show when they flush.  I'm certain at least one of these will become a keeper by fall.

Just because both your parents are beautiful doubles it does not mean the kids are going to be doubles as well.  Here is an Angel Trumpet bloom from the cross of brugmansia Peanut x The Chief. The bloom was a fat, thick textured single white with a nice fragrance.  I'm not sure what I will do with this one, but in the short term I'll leave it be and wait till winter to decide.

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.

Sometimes it is better not to go out for a midnight walk because you may run across some things you would rather not see.  Last night I went out to check on some of my in-ground Angel Trumpets that I had not visited for a while and I was shocked to see this feeding frenzy going on.The plant pictured above had 8 of the slimy devils munching away.  Good thing I had my garden snips with me.  Talk about partners in crime, here is a shot of an eating contest that was taking place at the same ...

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!

I decided to make this a two for Tuesday and post another whitey.  With the parents this Angel Trumpet seedling has, brugmansia (Double Dark Rosetta x Angel's Flight) x Pink Perfektion. you would think some color would be injected into this bloom. Nothing special here but it should be noted that it is blooming during the hot Florida Summer months and it is staying snow white.

Today's featured white Angel Trumpet is a cross between brugmansia Jazzy x Miss Ellie.  Both are single yellows so I was surprised to see a double white as the result.This seedling was a carry over from last fall and it has been blooming on and off all summer.  I'm not sure it is worthy of naming and registering, but I do want to cross it back to both it's parents this fall in hopes of getting some color.  The blooms are petite with long corolla tubes.  The plant is not phased by the heat or ...
