The blooms on this new Angel Trumpet seedling have great form, but the color is rather drab. The cross is Brugmansia Rubiline x (Creamsickle x Candida Pink).Although the color appears darker in this night shot, the blooms start out a cream color and turn more of a dull apricot/yellow as they mature.The plant has been a vigorous grower with frequent flushes of blooms. I don't think this one is worthy of registering but it is too showy for me to just toss. I think I may chop this one up next ...

Tuesday, January 5, 2010 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 10066 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating An Angel Trumpet under a Seminole Moon Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a brugmansia cross of Seminole Moon X (Candida Pink x Creamsicle). As you will see in the photo below, the blooms start out a cream color with long tendrils.Over the next couple of days, the blooms age to a nice soft orange and the tendrils re-curve dramatically. I'm not sure what the future has in store for this one so I may cross it back to a strong double orange brugmansia like Langenbuscher Garten.

Today's new Angel Trumpet seedling is trying its best to impress me with its orange blooms, but it still has a long way to go to become a keeper. This is a cross between brugmansia Olympic Flame x (Creamsicle x Candida Pink). The plant has become a monster, towering about 8 feet tall in less than a year. It is not a shy bloomer, however the blooms do not hold up well in the heat. This one may be a good candidate for my yard, or maybe even the compost pile.
