Sommer Gardens / Saturday, December 3, 2011 / Categories: Brugmansia, Seedlings A new golden Angel Trumpet illuminates the midnight sky I've had so many yellow/orange seedlings bloom this fall that it is really going to be a challenge to decide which ones are worthy of keeping. Here is one I just placed in my watch zone. It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Angel's Moonlight and Bert.Here in Florida I feel it is very important to grow out any promising yellow/orange Angel Trumpet seedlings for at least a year before deciding if they are worthy of keeping. Yellow and Orange cultivars are more susceptible to fungal problems and our extremely hot and muggy summers tend to amplify the problem. As with many hybridizers, disease and pest resistance in Brugmansia is one of my major hybridizing goals. I am quick toss seedlings that are not resistant to pests and diseases.Another common trait with yellow and orange Brugmansia is that the color deepens in cooler weather and as the bloom matures. Some may appear golden yellow in the summer months only to turn more orange when the weather cools. So far I have only come across a few new seedlings that have had lemon yellow blooms that stayed yellow from start to finish, and through multiple seasons.
