Celebrating an Angel Trumpet White Christmas
In celebration of Christmas Day, I figured it would only be appropriate that I feature a nice white Angel Trumpet. Today's featured Angel Trumpet seedling is one that I started way back in late 2007 that finally started blooming this fall. The cross is brugmansia Ecuador Pink x Creamsicle.
When you make brugmansia crosses involving double varieties, you often end up with several double whites in the group of seedlings. Because of this, they really have to be special in order to grab your attention. This one had a bloom style that was rather unique so it garnered a second glance.
This seedling sort of grew on me the more I saw it bloom. It had to have the longest lasting blooms of any double white I'm currently growing. Many of the blooms lasted over 7 days before they started to brown on the edges. It is also a prolific bloomer and has not been without blooms since it started looming more than a month ago. This one will be a watcher for sure!
