Sommer Gardens / Wednesday, July 13, 2011 / Categories: Brugmansia, Seedlings Some morning sunshine from an Angel Trumpet One morning last week I was greeted with this rather unique bloom on a new Angel Trumpet seedling. The cross is Brugmansia Angel's Swingtime x Orange Zest.It appears as if this seedling wants to have multi-skirted blooms, but currently it is confused. That is not that uncommon because many times it takes multiple bloom cycles for a seedling to get its act together and the blooms stabilize. That is why it is important for hybridizers to grow a seedling out for multiple seasons before deciding if the seedling is worthy of registering as a new cultivar. Likewise, I have had seedlings start out with really beautiful blooms only to later mature with just average looking blooms.What was unusual in this Brugmansia seedling is that the blooms are displayed in a horizontal fashion. While that is not usual for single skirted blooms, it is not that common for doubles. I'm anxious to see how this seedling evolves. The blooms started out a creamy light yellow color with the outer edges darkening as the blooms matured. I bet the color will deepen even more this fall when the temps are cooler.
