I was pleasantly surprised last week to find golden blooms on one of my Brugmansia Angels Exotic x Inca Sun seedlings.

I expect this one to be a good bloomer, just like its parents.  The fact that it impressed me with a mini-flush of 8 blooms for its very first bloom cycle is a good sign of what to expect in the future.
