March wraps up as the golden Angel Trumpet month
March turned out to be a golden Angel Trumpet month with more than a dozen promising new yellow/orange seedlings blooming for the first time. Here is another one that stood out amongst the rest. It is from a cross involving Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong x Angel's Moonlight.
The blooms on this seedling were above average in size with a nice thick texture. They started out gold and then turned more orange as they aged. The color was extremely rich and you could spot these blooms from yards away.

I know I have another seedling from this cross I placed in my watch zone last fall and from what I can recall, the blooms were similar to these. Both their parents do well in our hot Florida summers so I expect this seedling to thrive as well. Being the happy pollinator that I am, I already have a couple of seed pods forming this plant.
Wow. These are some beautiful flowers. I work in the irrigation industry so I've seen some beautiful landscaping, but these are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
