An intriguing Angel Trumpet seedling with unknown parentage

Why is it that the unknown brugmansia seedlings are always the first ones to catch your attention?  When I first saw this Angel Trumpet bloom I knew it was going to be one to watch.  At first it had a marbled look to it.  Although I was hoping that look would stay, I knew from past experience that total color would prevail.

The bloom was stuffed, but that is quite common when double/triples bloom for the first time. The plant is quite vigorous with large, deep green leaves.
