I like the soft pink color of the blooms and the crazy corolla teeth. This seedling has been a consistent bloomer, always producing triple skirted blooms.
The bloom color intensifies from what is shown in the photos. I took these photos when the blooms first opened. Afterwards the blooms were sliced open for pollinating. 
I plan to name and register this seedling later this year and make it available to the public in early 2013.
I like the fact that it has nice separated skirts. The blooms are also thicker in texture which helps them hold up better in our Florida heat. This seedling has gone through several bloom cycles and so far the blooms have remained snow white. 
I feel this seedling is worthy of watching so I'm going to carry it over into my watch zone this summer.
The lemon yellow double blooms are medium in size and long lasting.
So far the plant has remained compact and pest free. I will be moving it up to a 10 gallon size pot soon and it will be interesting to see if the plant responds and grows taller, or if it will remain compact.
Another great trait of this seedling is that the bloom color is consistent throughout the bloom.
As long as this seedling performs well this summer and no fungal problems surface, you can be certain it will be named and registered.
The blooms have great form and substance, and have held up well in our Florida heat. I especially like the long corolla tube and the fact that the corolla skirts are not stuffed. Stuffed blooms struggle here during our hot steamy summers and often end up rotting in the center before they have a chance to fully open.
By the end of summer I'll have to decide if this one should be a keeper and be named and registered. I have a feeling it will make the cut.
He has a confident "don't mess with me" look that is certain to scare unwanted visitors away. My toad population appears to be rebounding this year so hopefully they will help me keep the snails under control this summer.
In that short period of time they managed to fill my ceiling console half full of leaves, moss and twigs. An equal amount of debris were scattered on my seats and floor Unlike the earlier nest that the birds constructed in my shade house, I had no problem getting rid of this one. :)

The blooms have great form, maintain their rich yellow color, and hold up well in our Florida heat. Add that to a fast growing, relatively pest free plant, and you have the potential for a winner. 
In late March I featured another seedling from this same cross. Although the blooms were single, they stood out because they were petite and very thick textured. 
This seedling has earned a place in my watch zone and will be observed during the summer to see how it performs in Florida's sauna-like summer weather.
I'm certain that a couple of the seedlings in this batch will end up in my summer watch zone. The blooms so far have been a nice rich yellow that deepen to a bright orange as the blooms mature. The blooms are also thick textured and long lasting. 
When I got closer, it curled it's body forward, scorpion style. It was if it was preparing to sting me, or anything else that got too close. I was not certain if this was a beneficial or nuisance pest, so I let it be. 
It has a very simple, yet elegant form for a double bloom. The outer corolla skirt had a tinge of pink in it, but the color did not intensify as the bloom matured. The blooms were not quite as large as those of its mother.
I plan to carry this seedling over through summer to see how it performs in our heat.
The blooms start out a vibrant yellow and then age to a nice warm orange color. Brugmansia Sommerzauber's blooms are mostly a cream color, but under certain growing conditions will turn a nice soft yellow.. Brugmansia Cassies Curls has injected some stronger color genes into the offspring. So far all but one of the seedlings that have bloomed from this cross have produced bright yellow single blooms. One turned out to be a bright yellow double and it is currently in my watch zone.
Based on its performance so far, I'm certain this one will continue on to be a keeper and eventually be named and registered. Currently this seedling has about a dozen seed pods growing on it and I just know some real beauties will come from the second generation of seedlings.
This is from an unknown cross with Brugmansia Cassies Curls as the pod parent. The color deepens and the corolla teeth turn more orange as the blooms mature. I especially like the form and semi-nodding style of the blooms. I look forward to seeing how it performs in our summer heat.
For the past couple of years I have had problems with birds yanking the pot tags out of my Angel Trumpets in my open growing area. I assumed the birds were after the snails that seem to enjoy sliding around on the smooth surface of the tags, and the dislodged tags were just part of the process. Now I know the real reason, the birds find the tags to be a great material for building nests. I'm certain the birds have learned that in our tropical climate, plastic is a much better building material than twigs. This nest appeared to be made up of about 50% plant tags and the balance with twigs and other scraps. Rather than use the Brugmansia scraps inside, stronger twigs were brought in from the citrus trees outside, 
The ambitious bird(s) responsible for this next built it in less than two days. I have not finished the two sliding
doors on the sides of the shade house, so the structure is not completely sealed off to the outside critters. 
On the ground below the nest, leftover tags were scattered around. I was surprised to see that many of the tags came from plants on the opposite end of the shade house, rather than from plants close to the nest. 
I plan to hold this Angel Trumpet seedling over through the summer to see what it does. The one advantage is has over its mother is that the blooms are not as stuffed as those of Brugmansia Aprikola. Super stuffed blooms are not a desirable trait for a bloom to have in Florida because the blooms often turn brown and rot, especially in the summer.
