An Angel Trumpet rises to the top of its class
When I look back at all the single pink Angel Trumpet seedlings that bloomed this season, this one has quickly become one of my favorites. It's a seedling from a brugmansia cross of (Tiara x Susanne) x Earth Angel. It has been blooming for the past month and every time I study it, I like it more and more. The picture below was taken the second day after the bloom opened. By day three the color deepens and travels up the corolla tube. I feel this one has great potential and I have already used its pollen to pollinate a bunch of blooms. It is also carrying several pods of its own with hopefully more on the way. I just dusted four more it's blooms with pollen last night.
Last month I posted photos of a second generation bloom from one of it's siblings. It had similar coloring but the flower is a double/triple. Check it out.
