Unexpected results from this Angel Trumpet cross

Last year I made a bunch of crosses involving Brugmansia Axel Rose in hopes that its variegation would be passed on either by genes or by a sport on a new seedling.  The last thing I expected was to find a seedling with blooms as bright as these.  Pictured below are blooms from a cross between brugmansia Mountain Treasure and Axel Rose.  The actual color was what I would call a cantaloupe orange and is much more intense than what is shown in this picture.

I plan to cross it back to Axel Rose, Maya, and Langenbuscher Garten when the next set of blooms appear.
