and the winner is.....
This Angel Trumpet bloom from the brugmansia cross of Mountain Treasure x (Miss Caylie x Genevieve #7)!
It was the winner of this weekend's best new seedling to bloom in the heat of summer competition. When I first spotted this bloom Saturday afternoon I expected it to remain white as the five or six seedlings that already bloomed from this cross had.
When I made my rounds on Sunday I was pleasantly surprised to find color. I like the curly tendrils and form so this one gets to hang around for a while. The fact that the blooms showed no sign of wilt in the hottest part of the day shows that is has great potential.
It will be interesting to see if the color deepens when the weather cools in fall. I'll be watching!
