I'm looking forward to seeing how this Angel Trumpet colors up this summer.

This new Angel Trumpet seedling has great form.  It is from an unknown cross with Brugmansia 'Taylor Dawn' as the pod parent.The blooms are much larger than those of its mother, Taylor Dawn.  I expect the blooms to color up more during our warm summer months.Some of my past Taylor Dawn seedlings have had some lavender color in their blooms so I plan to continue to cross them back to each other.  It is my hope that eventually one will produce a seedling with lavender blooms

A Brugmansia with classic form, just like momma...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a real beauty!  It is the result of a cross between brugmansia Taylor Dawn x Rubirosa.The blooms have a strong resemblance to its momma, Taylor Dawn, and are similar in size. This one will be carried over into 2010 and will most likely be part of several back crosses this winter.
