I need to inject some color genes in this one...

Here's a cross just begging for some color.  This is a brugmansia cross of New Orleans Lady x (Angel's Flight x Charming).  The first couple of blooms in spring aged to a nice apricot, but during our hot summer the blooms have been white/cream with perhaps just a hint of apricot.  As you can see it has great genes in the mix so I have kept this one to use for some fall crosses.  It already has a pod from a cross I made in early Summer with a single bright yellow/orange Angel's Flight cross I have growing.

Sometimes it throws a stacked bloom like the one below, but most of the blooms so far have been nice and full like the one above.
