Two oranges make salmon in the world of Angel Trumpets

What color bloom would you expect from a brugmansia cross with Shooting Star and Naughty Nick, a salmon one of course!  You would think crossing two oranges together you would end up with orange kids.  That's not the way it works though in the world of brugs. The nicely formed blooms on this seedling start out a light pink and then turn salmon.
