Another Angel Trumpet in the Shooting Star Trilogy
Seeing how I have another Angel Trumpet seedling from a cross involving Shooting Star in bloom now, I thought I might as well make this a Shooting Star Trilogy. Here is a bloom from a Brugmansia Shooting Star x New Orleans Lady seedling.
As the blooms mature the color deepens and the tendrils re-curve as shown in the photo above. The blooms start out a nice soft pink with long tendrils as you can see below.
This seedling is a monster, towering close to ten feet tall right now. It has been a regular bloomer this summer and was one of the first seedlings to start blooming following our winter freeze. I was able to set a few seed pods on it this spring and I recently harvested the pods and planted the seeds. I know I have other seedlings from this cross growing out so hopefully by fall I'll be able to showcase some of its siblings.

I do not have the best nose for fragrances, so that is why I do not always note the fragrance when I post info on my seedlings.
