Golden Angel Trumpets illuminate the night
I usually take a midnight stroll through my Brugmansia forest before I head to bed and hardly a night goes by when I'm not greeted by a surprise bloom. The survivors from last year's crop of seedlings have rebounded and are beginning to reward me with beautiful blooms.
Here's a seedling that caught my attention when its golden blooms lit up the sky during our recent full moon.
This Angel Trumpet seedling is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong and (Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta) #6. It has a nice golden yellow color and a pleasant fragrance.
The blooms are holding up well in our heat and humidity, making this one worthy of hanging on to for breeding purposes. I think the first cross I'll make with it is with another Color Point x Double Dark Rosetta seedling I have that has a wild looking triple white bloom on it. I would love to be able to create the same look in yellow.
I always like it when a seedling strives to impress me by producing a mini-flush when it blooms for the first time. :)
