An Angel Trumpet on LSD
No I'm not referencing the acid LSD, I'm talking about another form of LSD. LSD is the abbreviation for the Angel Trumpet Ludger's Summer Dream, a nice single yellow/orange introduced by Brenda Delph. It was just one of her many "monkey crosses" she grew from seed from brugmansia crosses made by Ludger Schneider of Germany.
This seedling is from a brugmansia cross involving Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle. When you first glance at this flower bud you would think the plant was having a bad acid trip when it produced it.
It did not look much better once it opened, but it colored up nicely as you can see below. This plant has a bunch more buds forming, but it is too early to tell if the blooms will continue to be shredded in appearance, or if the seedling got its act together and will start producing normal looking flowers.
Update (12/24) - Bloom number two looked just like the one above and bloom number three appears to be a normal bloom. If it is worthy of sharing, I'll post picture of the normal bloom in a future post.
