Wow, this Angel Trumpet made me think Santa came early
If you asked Santa for a nice double pink Angel Trumpet for Christmas, you would certainly be pleased to receive this one. For a first bloom, this one was awesome.
The color of this bloom was an unexpected outcome from a cross between brugmansia (Jacayna x The Chief) #5 x America. The JACH5 seedling that produced this seedling was a bright yellow-orange single and America is one of my favorite double whites. Here's a photo of the two parents together.
This is why hybridizing brugmansia is so exciting. Although you may have certain expectations when you make a cross, you really never know what to expect when the seedlings bloom for the first time. Here's another shot of this beautiful new double pink angel Trumpet.
