Super Rose Brumansia has super form

Last year I obtained a starter plant of Brumansia Super Rose and now it is finally large enough to bloom.Recently it produced its first bloom and so far I like what I see.

superrose.jpgAlthough this Angel Trumpet normally has layered double blooms, this particular bloom was stuffed and never dropped it's second skirt.  Brugmansia Super Rose is a Dorothea Langenberg introduction from a cross involving Charleston and L'Amour.  With that great parentage, I'm anxious to get this cultivar into my breeding program. 

superrose-2.jpgOne thing I really liked about the bloom was its thick texture.  This means the bloom should hold up well in our heat.  I also like it's multicolor appearance as the bloom develops.

superrose-3.jpgBecause I'm in hybridizing mode right now, this bloom was sliced open and pollinated after shooting these photos.  As a result, I do not have a photo to share showing a mature bloom with its final color. I can tell you the bloom really colored up nicely after these photos were taken.
