The Flying Nun of the Brugmansia World
This Angel Trumpet seedling has just earned a spot on my keeper list. It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Naughty Nick x Cleopatra.
The blooms sort of have a flying nun look to me that is sort of cool when the plant is loaded with blooms.
The creamy white blooms are very thick textured and average 3-4 inches across. During cool weather they pick-up a slight apricot color as they age.
The plant growth has been vigorous, but not quite as crazy as its mother, Brugmansia Naughty Nick. Right now the plant has topped off at just under 8 feet tall. It is also just as comfortable growing in a pot as it is in the ground. It is also a fairly frequent bloomer, even in the heat of summer.
I plan to use this one in my breeding program through spring and then after that start propagating it for a future release. Watch for this beauty to be officially named and registered later this year.
