Anticipation.....

One of the toughest parts of growing out brugmansia seedlings is waiting for the blooms to open.  Sometimes it takes weeks for the buds to open.  Of course the more you watch them, the longer it takes them to open.  With brugs, the dominant color is white.  For me this equates to about every three out of four seedlings I grow having white blooms.  amxcs04a.jpgThis monster bud is playing with my mind right now.  I know it is going to at least be a double bloom and it appears to have a yellowish tint to it.  There is not an abundance of double yellow  brugmansia available in the United States so having a large yellow brug would be awesome.  I don't want to get my hopes up yet because many blooms start out cream colored and then end up being solid white or pink.  It looks like it will be fully open on Christmas day, and what a great Christmas present a large double yellow bloom would be for me!
