Today's new Angel Trumpet, a yellow softie...

Today's featured Angel Trumpet is proudly showing off its butter yellow blooms.  This seedling is the result of a cross between brugmansia Velvet Rose x Goldfinch.  Velvet Rose is one of the most durable Angel Trumpets I have growing in my yard, while Goldfinch has been struggling to remain healthy and was recently trashed.  Perhaps this seedling has retained the best genes of both parents.
