Today's featured Angel Trumpet is just another single pink.  The twin blooms pictured are the result of a cross between brugmansia Rubirosa x Dorthea.  It has Dorthea's tendrils and Rubirosa's form.   The color did not get any darker than what is pictured, but it did spread up the corolla tube.

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between Brugmansia Rubiline x Pink Smitty.  As you can see, the bloom has a very strong resemblance to it's daddy, Pink Smitty.  When I snapped this picture it was still int he 80's at night so the bloom looks sort of wilted.  Any brug that holds up under our hot Florida summer weather is certainly worth watching.  Right now this is just another double pink to me so it will need to prove its worthiness if it is to remain in my breeding ...

Although not quite the outcome you would expect from this Angel Trumpet cross between German Brugmansia Friemersheim x Super Spot, it is still a striking bloom.  This flower had a nice golden color and form, and the ruffled edges make it stand out.  Seeing how this is the very first bloom for this seedling, I'll watch it for a few more bloom cycles to see how it evolves.

This beautiful Angel Trumpet bloom is from seedling #7 from a cross between brugmansia Jacyana x The Chief.  I had a total of eight seedlings from this cross bloom last year and I carried three of them over to 2009 to watch.  This seedling is a vigorous grower and is currently over 8 feet tall.  Another seedling from this cross has similar blooms but has stayed less than 4 feet tall, earning it a slot on my "To be registered" list for this fall.

Angel Trumpet Shooting Star kisses Creamsicle and the results look quite nice! This Angel Trumpet seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Creamsicle and Shooting Star.  Not bad for a first bloom.I'm sure the next blooms will be even more spectacular.  I took these photos last night and I'm anxious to see what they look like today.

Here's an Angel Trumpet seedling that is one Goliath of a plant.  Towering over 10 feet tall, this brugmansia cross involving Painted Lady and The Chief is nearly twice the size of other seedlings started at the same time last summer.  It is still trying to get its act together.  The majority of the blooms are doubles, but it does throw out an occasional single bloom from time to time to confuse me.  It has been blooming on and off all summer so the heat does not bother it.  I noticed last ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet bloom is from a brugmansia cross involving Southern Charm and Jazzy.  This bloom was holding up well in the heat and has a nice fragrance.  I think I'll cross it back to a nice double orange this fall and see what happens.  I'm not sure if I still have my Southern Charm plant but if I do, I'll cross it back as well when it blooms.

What color bloom would you expect from a brugmansia cross with Shooting Star and Naughty Nick, a salmon one of course!  You would think crossing two oranges together you would end up with orange kids.  That's not the way it works though in the world of brugs. The nicely formed blooms on this seedling start out a light pink and then turn salmon.I remember Naughty Nick being a cross between Creamsickle and Rosamond, and Rosamond has Rothkirch as it's mother.  Shooting Star has an unknown ...
