incasunxangelsgoldface.jpgWhen you look at the bloom face it has a very strong resemblance to its father, Brugmansia Angels Goldface. This was the first bloom on this seedling so I'll have to wait and see if the resemblance continues.  As is often the case with new seedlings with multi-skirted blooms, the bloom form will evolve and change as the seedling matures.

I still have at least a dozen more seedlings from this cross that should bloom for the first time this fall.  I'm hoping at least one will have blooms like this one, with the ever blooming and somewhat compact growth characteristics of its mother, Brugmansia Inca Sun.
