An orphan worth keeping...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is a carry over from 2008.  It was a "missing tag" brugmansia so its parents are unknown.  Last fall I planted it in my yard because I felt it was worthy of watching.  During the winter it froze down to the ground but has quickly rebounded and is back in bloom again.
