A tail of two Angel Trumpet Chiefs

Actually I'm referencing two siblings from The Chief, a legendary but short lived Angel Trumpet.  Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross between brugmansia seedling (Jacayna x The Chief) #6 x (Jacayna x The Chief) #7.  Jacayna x The Chief #6 was recently registered and named as 'Orange Zest'. 

When it comes to plant breeding, incest is common place. By crossing seedlings from a single cross back to each other you improve the odds of achieving whatever it was you were hoping for when you made the cross.  You would also do it to refine a certain quality in a bloom or plant that you wanted to expand upon. I have many more seedlings from this same cross yet to bloom and I'm sure I'll find a great diversity in the blooms.
