An Angel Trumpet that iluminates the night

By now I'm sure you're ready to see some color, but first I have one more white Angel Trumpet to show you.  This is brugmansia seedling is on my TBR (to be registered) list for this fall.  It is a cross of Pink Smitty x Miss Ellie.  I had about a dozen seedlings from this cross bloom last year and about half were carried over to watch this summer.  This was the first one to bloom and it blooms more than all the others combined.

That wraps up white week 2009!  Watch for some color tomorrow.
