Mutant in paradise...

Last season I ramped up my brugmansia hybridizing efforts using brugmansias with mutant and deeply serrated foliage.  The results of those...

Brugmansia Jazzy and Naughty Nick mix things up...

This Angel Trumpet seedling has been producing some beautiful blooms this summer and has earned a spot in my watch zone for 2011.  It is from a cross involving Brugmansia Jazzy x Naughty Nick.

JAZZYXNAUGHTYNICK-1d.jpgI have several seedlings from this cross growing including one that was also in bloom at the same time as this one.  I'll post a photo of it later this week. As you may have noticed, the seedling pictured here has a strong resemblance to its father, Naughty Nick.  The one I will post later has a stronger resemblance to its mother, Brugmansia Jazzy.

JAZZYXNAUGHTYNICK-1b.jpgThis Angel Trumpet seedling has some wild and curly tendrils and so far all the blooms have been triples.

JAZZYXNAUGHTYNICK-1.jpgToo bad Jazzy's color was not carried over to the bloom.  When the weather cools next month I will be dusting blooms on this plant with Jazzy's pollen to see if the second generation seedlings will have more color.  I will also cross it back to some of its siblings to see what the results are.

JAZZYXNAUGHTYNICK-1c.jpgEven though this Angel Trumpet seedling lacks color, the smaller sized blooms are still very appealing.  I know I have at least 10-15 more seedlings from this cross yet to bloom.  Maybe Christmas will come early and I'll be rewarded with a yellow bloom similar to this one?!
