Here's a cross just begging for some color.  This is a brugmansia cross of New Orleans Lady x (Angel's Flight x Charming).  The first couple of blooms in spring aged to a nice apricot, but during our hot summer the blooms have been white/cream with perhaps just a hint of apricot.  As you can see it has great genes in the mix so I have kept this one to use for some fall crosses.  It already has a pod from a cross I made in early Summer with a single bright yellow/orange Angel's Flight cross I ...

This new seedling's blooms have a most unusual look to them.  They have some major re-curve going on and from a distance the blooms are unlike any blooms I have seen before. 

This new Angel Trumpet seedling is worthy of watching for a few more bloom cycles to see what it does.  It is a cross between brugmansias Rubirosa and Desiree.  As the bloom matures, the color deepens from the color displayed in the picture below.  If my Desiree plant ever decided to bloom, I would cross it back in hopes of getting a couple more skirts on her.

Dazed and confused is a great description for these Angel Trumpet blooms.  This is the first seedling of my cross between brugmansia Inca Sun and Masquerade to bloom.  While I was hoping for an ever-blooming yellow Masquerade type, I'm not quite ready to give up hope.  I have a bunch more from this cross that will be blooming this year and hopefully at least a couple will be worthy of holding over.  I also plan to cross any keepers I have from this cross back to Inca Sun.

This new seedling's blooms have a most unusual look to them.  They have some major re-curve going on and from a distance the blooms are unlike any blooms I have seen before.  This seedling is from a cross of Mountain Treasure x New Orleans Lady.  As you can see, the blooms also have a quilted pillow look to them from below.  As the blooms aged they had a hint of apricot to them.  I'm sure they will color up more when the weather cools off.The blooms were just unusual enough that i ...

Not the feline type, I like four legged cats.  I'm talking about the linear cats, as in caterpillars!This summer I have been fighting what appears to be a losing battle with these pests.  I've already had three major infestations and with all the moths and butterflies I've seen flying around the past couple of days, I'm sure the 4th is only a week or two away.Last week I resorted to chemical warfare in hopes of knocking them down fast.  Spraying is a pain in the butt!  It takes close to 50 ...

This petite little beauty surprised me when it started blooming last week.  The blooms measure less than 3" across and there were lots of them.This a cross between Mountain Treasure and Naughty Nick.  The color is rich and the blooms hold up extremely well in the heat.  It has a light fragrance in the early evening.Despite its size, this seedling impressed me with a mini-flush for its inaugural blooms.  I think I'll move this one up to a larger pot and keep an eye on it for the ...
