Alright Ms. Angel Trumpet, who's your daddy???

Actually I would like to know who your momma is too!  This "lost tag" brugmansia seedling that I think has some promising traits.  The blooms are snow white, have perfect form, and have a waxy texture.

unknownwhite2010.jpgOn the fragrance side, my nose does not seem to be working properly at the moment but I did detect a slight fragrance. That means it may actually have a strong fragrance because I'm not able to detect many smells right now.  The more I study this bloom, the more I think I may have seen the same, or a similar style of bloom last fall.  I document all my seedlings, good and bad, with photographs so I'll have to research this further.  It would be great to know the parentage.
