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.

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!
