Like many pink brugmansia, the color deepens ... Categories:Seedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiabrugsButterflyEarth AngelTerri Shiavo Read more

For the first two years that was not the case as pink prevailed and was the dominate color in my seedlings.

Had I known this one was in bloom at the same time, I would have posted these pictures in the same post. Anyways, here is the 3rd Angel Trumpet seedling I've had bloom from Brenda Delph's cross of brugmansia (Tiara x Susanne) x Earth Angel. I spotted it last night while I was out making my rounds. I'm forever amazed as to how I can miss some of these ... Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiabrugsEarth AngelSeedlingsSusannetiara Read more

The picture below was taken the second day after the bloom opened. By day three the color deepens and travels up the corolla tube. I feel this one has great potential and I have ...

These pictures do not do really show how beautiful this Angel Trumpet seedling really is.

Don't be surprised to see it named and introduced in 2010. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetBrugmansiabrugsButterflyEarth AngelSusannetiara Read more

It is a carry over from last year that I have been watching this summer. This seedling is from a Brenda Delph seed cross of brugmansia Butterfly x (Teri Shiavo x Earth Angel).I plant to cross it back to both Teri Shiavo and Earth Angel when the weather cools. I'll decide this fall if it deserves to be named and registered. Categories:BrugmansiaSeedlings Tags:Angel TrumpetbloomsBrugmansiabrugsButterflyEarth AngelSeedlingsTeri Shiavo Read more
