Sommer Gardens / Monday, August 30, 2010 / Categories: Brugmansia, Seedlings A pleasant find on a warm summer night... My evening strolls through my field of Angel Trumpets is starting to get more exciting as more and more Brugmansia seedlings are setting buds and blooming for the first time. During tonight's stroll I captured this picture of a nice double pink bloom I had been watching develop all week. It is from a cross between Brugmansia Shooting Star and America. When I was making this cross I was hoping that Shooting Star's golden color would be carried over to America's beautiful form, but pink prevailed. The pink must be from America's father, Taylor Dawn. Shooting Star came from a Kleine Aap cross with an unknown pollen donor. I'll have to do some more research on other crosses I have with Brugmansia Shooting Star because I believe pink is the prevelant color in many of those seedlings.This Brugmansia seedling will be placed into my watch zone and once fall arrives, you can be assured that a few of the blooms will be dusted with Shooting Star pollen. I'm hoping a second generation cross will bring out the yellow/orange genes from Shooting Star. Slurping away on an Angel Trumpet...
