This Angel Trumpet could use some more zest!

While working on my brugs today I came across this seedling from a cross I made between Brugmansia Orange Zest x Genevieve.

orangezestxgenevieve2.jpgThis is the second seedling from this cross to bloom.  The first one was snow white and I posted a photo of it earlier this week here.  At least this one has a hint of color, but it could certainly use a few more color genes from it's mother, Orange Zest.  The bloom was quite large and would look great in yellow or orange. This bloom was actually buried under the foliage so I did not even see it until I was out pollinating tonight with my headlamp on.  I'm always amazed as to how I can miss seeing blooms during the daytime even when they are wide open. 

I pulled this one aside and will most likely cross it back to Orange Zest to see what the second generation brings.
