Sommer Gardens / Wednesday, June 30, 2010 / Categories: Brugmansia Velvet Lady is quite the lady.... Everyday I'm finding more and more of my Angel Trumpets forming buds or coming into bloom, despite the record breaking heat we are encountering. Brugmansia Velvet Lady is one cultivar that is thriving in the heat. Below you can see a young Velvet Lady showing off its first mini-flush.The blooms on Velvet Lady hold up well in the heat and rain. Many of the other whites I have in my collection start spotting after day one in the summer. But as you can see, even the tendrils on Velvet Lady are heat and rain resistant.The only thing I do not like about Brugmansia Velvet Lady is that when it comes to hybridizing, I have yet to get a single seed pod to set on it, despite more than 100 attempts. It also produces very little usable pollen and so far I have not been able to get it to father a pod either. I'm not giving up though, I'm the type person that gets motivated by a challenge. Once our cooler fall weather settles in, I'm going to dust every bloom this plant throws until I get a pod to take. :)Wish me luck!
