Brugmansia Inca Sun x Angel's Goldface

I really like the simple bloom form found in this first time bloom from a cross I made between Brugmansia Inca Sun x Angel's Goldface.
incasunxangelsgoldface20.jpgI'm hoping that Inca Sun's ever-blooming characteristics have been passed on to this seedling.  This new seedling is only two feet tall and is less than 9 months old!  That's a very good sign that this cultivar may be on its way to become a bloomaholic.
