Another Shooting Star illuminates the summer sky

Here's another Angel Trumpet cross involving Brugmansia Shooting Star that is currently in bloom.   This is just one of more than a dozen seedlings I have growing from a cross I made between Brugmansia Shooting Star x Masquerade.

shootingstarxmasquerade.jpgThe blooms are thicker in texture and as you can see, are holding up quite well in our hot and muggy summer weather.

shootingstarxmasquerade-3.jpgThe blooms are medium in size, in keeping with the size of its parent's blooms.  The plant is very healthy and pest free.  I recall it having a light scent in the early evening hours.
