A golden Angel Trumpet illuminated the Christmas Eve sky

On Christmas Eve I was greeted with this bright golden orange Angel Trumpet seedling.  It is seedling #15 from a cross I made between Brugmansia Cassies Curls and (Ludger's Windsong x Creamsicle).

It is definitely a seedling worth holding back to watch for a few more flushes.  It will now join several of its siblings in my watch zone for 2012.

I could not resist and already went ahead and pollinated these blooms. :)
