Is this an Angel Trumpet or a witch's broom?

This is one out of control Angel Trumpet bloom!  It is the first seedling to bloom from a cross I made between Brugmansia (Bert x Unknown) x Genevieve.

It will be interesting to see how this seedling develops.  Typically new seedlings with multi-skirt blooms will see the blooms evolve over the first few bloom cycles.  Often they get better, but sometimes they stay ugly or even get uglier.  As you can see, the second flower already appears to have better form than the first.  I'm hoping the color will deepen too.  

Stay tuned for an update next month when the next set of blooms appear.
