A wild and crazy looking Angel Trumpet

Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is the 7th seedling to bloom from a brugmansia cross made by Volker Sanders involving Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta.  There's no color in this one but it does have a wild and crazy looking bloom.  The blooms are nice and plump and so far this plant has remained much smaller than the other seedlings from this cross.

colorpointxdoubledarkrosetta7.jpgThis seedling starting blooming last fall, but had to be cut back to the ground following last winter's freeze.  It is planted in the ground and seemed to take forever to rebound from the freeze.  I plan to cross it back to a Color Point x Angel Flight seedling I have that has some nice color.  I would like to see this bloom in a nice orange color.

I like the unusual blossoms. I have one called 'Shredded Hankie', and that is what it looks like- a wadded up Kleenex tissue! I like yours, too.
