Here's an unknown Angel Trumpet seedling from a brugmansia cross with Jazzy as the pod parent.  It has turned out to be quite the plant monster, almost as if it was on plant steroids.  For starters it is a 6 foot tall, multi-trunk plant growing in a one gallon pot that has rooted itself in the ground.  This is at least 2-3 times larger than other seedlings from the same cross. The blooms are also giants averaging 11-12 inches across.  They are thick textured, fragrant, and have a rather ...

This new Angel Trumpet seedling is such a deep pink color that it almost appears red when the bloom matures.  It is from a cross of brugmansia Rubirosa x (Peanut x Mountain Magic).It has allot going for it thanks to its great parentage.  It is a monster seedling, requiring me to use a step ladder in order to snap this picture.  I've already had a couple other seedlings from this cross bloom with a similar look and I'm watching them all.  I'm certain at least one of them will be worthy of ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling has super-sized blooms, similar in size to those of Miss Emily Meckenzie.  This brugmansia is a cross between (Luminosa x Charleston) x Native Habitat Double Peach,  I like the form and color found in these blooms and I plan to cross it back to Native Habitat Dbl Peach, New Orleans Lady and Langenbuscher Garten for starters.

From my missing tag collection of Angel Trumpets come these two brugmansia seedlings with a nice shade of pink.Both of these are nice and worthy of growing by someone so I'll probably add them to my plant sale group to offer for sale at one of the spring plant shows.

It almost appears as if this Angel Trumpet seedling is made of porcelain!  Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between brugmansia Rothkirch and New Orleans Lady.The blooms start out porcelain white with just a hint of apricot color in the tendrils.  The blooms also have a nice fragrance, but it is not quite as strong as that of its father, New Orleans Lady. As the blooms mature the tendrils perform a complete re-curve and form a symmetrical pattern within the bloom.  ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a real beauty!  It is the result of a cross between brugmansia Taylor Dawn x Rubirosa.The blooms have a strong resemblance to its momma, Taylor Dawn, and are similar in size. This one will be carried over into 2010 and will most likely be part of several back crosses this winter.

A couple of readers have asked where all my Angel Trumpet blooms come from so I decided to post a few photos of my primary growing areas.  Today's photos are from what I call my brug jungle.  This is an area where I tie the largest brugmansia seedlings to rows of rope to help keep them upright.  The seedlings are in 3-4 gallon size pots and have to be at least 6 feet tall to earn their place in one of these rows.  This photo shows older seedlings carried over from 2008.  Many suffered damage ...

Following up on yesterday's post showing pictures of my staked brugmansia growing area, here is a photo of a portion of my open growing area.  The Angel Trumpet plants on the left side are in one gallon pots, and the ones on the right are in 2-4 gallon sized pots.  The one gallon pots are placed pot to pot and average 4-5 feet tall.  I would guess that this photo shows about 1/3 of my open growing area.
