A golden Angel Trumpet orphan
Today's featured Angel Trumpet is an orphan, meaning I have no idea who its parents are. I wish I knew because this brugmansia is a real beauty.
This is just one of many brugmansia seedlings I have that are either missing a tag, or the cross was unknown when I grew the seeds out. Although knowing the parentage is great, it is not a deal breaker when it comes down to deciding which seedlings are going to be carried forward in my breeding program.
This seedling is certainly one i will carry over to the new year. The blooms are perfectly formed and start out a nice butter yellow color. As the blooms mature the color ages to that of a fine cheese. The blooms are thick textured and long lasting, great traits to have down here when summer rolls around.
I'm looking forward to using this one in some crosses and I already have pollen ready for the next set of blooms!
