A jumbo-sized Angel Trumpet with unknown parentage
I have a bunch of new double pink seedlings in bloom right now and this one has the largest blooms of all of them.
Unfortunately it is missing a tag so the parentage is unknown. I hate when that happens to a promising seedling. Even though the parentage may be unknown, if I think the seedling has promise, I will still carry it forward and decide later if it is worthy of naming and registering, or using it in my breeding program.
I believe the blooms on this seedling are larger than those of any existing double pink cultivar I have in my collection, and I have lots. The long corolla tube is what really makes these blooms stand out from the other double pinks I'm growing.
So far the blooms have stayed a medium pink and have all been perfect in form. I plan to carry this one forward in my watch zone and then decide what to do with it next year.
