Here's a nice double pink Angel Trumpet seedling that has been in my watch zone for a couple of years now.  The seedling is from a Brenda Delph cross of Brugmansia Genevieve x Rothkirch.I like the soft pink color of the blooms and the crazy corolla teeth. This seedling has been a consistent bloomer, always producing triple skirted blooms.The bloom color intensifies from what is shown in the photos. I took these photos when the blooms first opened.  Afterwards the blooms were sliced open for pollinating.

 

Brugmansia come in all shapes and sizes and here's a good example of extremes in size.  The larger pink Angel Trumpet is an Ecuador Pink x Rothkirch seedling. The mini-white below it is from a cross involving Naughty Nick x Cleopatra. The Naughty Nick x Cleopatra seedling is one I first featured in my garden blog back in December of 2009.  The petite blooms are only a couple of inches across and typically have at least three skirts.  While the blooms are small, the plant is a giant.  I have ...

Today I'm featuring Angel Trumpet blooms from two separate seedlings from the same brugmansia cross of Gemini x (Susanne x Rothkirch).  The first one has a rather wild looking snow white bloom and was obviously influenced heavily by its mother, Gemini. The second brugmansia seedling from this cross had a greater influence from its father, a seedling from a cross of brugmansia Susanne x Rothkirch, both single pinks. Gemini was still dominate in this second seedling providing the double/triple ...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is one I carried over from 2008 to watch.  It is from a cross of brugmansia Genevieve x Rothkirch.  Rothkirch is a legendary brugmansia whose genes have enriched dozens of named cultivars.  What I like most about this particular cross is the rich pink color and that the color runs all the way up the corolla tube.  I plan to cross this one back to several of Rothkirch's siblings to see what the next generation brings.

It almost appears as if this Angel Trumpet seedling is made of porcelain!  Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between brugmansia Rothkirch and New Orleans Lady.The blooms start out porcelain white with just a hint of apricot color in the tendrils.  The blooms also have a nice fragrance, but it is not quite as strong as that of its father, New Orleans Lady. As the blooms mature the tendrils perform a complete re-curve and form a symmetrical pattern within the bloom.  ...
