Introducing Brugmansia 'Pink Cadillac'
Introducing Brugmansia 'Pink Cadillac', a new brugmansia I just named and registered with the International Brugmansia and Datura Society.
I grew this seedling out from a cross made by Brenda Delph involving Brugmansia Adeline x Miss Caylie.It is from an older group of seedlings carried over from 2007, the year I first started growing Angel Trumpets from seeds.
This seedling has been blooming for several years and thrives here in Florida. At first I was on the fence about registering it, but the more it bloomed, the more I fell in love with it.
I named it Pink Cadillac because just like a vintage pink Cadillac car, it's big and gaudy, and it really grabs your attention.
Watch for Pink Cadillac plants to be available in my online store in late Spring.

Introducing Brugmansia 'Raspberry Crush'
Introducing Brugmansia 'Raspberry Crush', a new Angel Trumpet I just named and registered with the International Brugmansia and Datura Society.
This beautiful cultivar came about from a seedling from a JT Sessions cross involving Brugmansia Goldfinch x Peanut. It has been in my watch zone for over two years and is also playing an important role in my future hybridizing program.
The raspberry is in its name because in warm weather the blooms are a very dark "raspberry' pink color. Raspberry Crush is a great Brugmansia to grow in containers because of its compact growth habit. That is why it is playing an important roll in my hybridizing program.
Watch for Raspberry Crush to be available next spring!

Introducing Brugmansia Marshmallow Sunset
I decided it was time to start naming and registering a few of my Angel Trumpets that have been on my "To be Registered" list since last year. Here is the first of many I plan to register this year. I named this one Brugmansia 'Marshmallow Sunset'.
This seedling originated from a Brenda Delph cross involving Brugmansia New Orleans Lady and (Angel's Flight x Charming).
You can see easily see traits from both parents in these blooms. The bloom form and size is more in line with those of Angel's Flight and the fragrance and cool weather orange coloring is similar to that of New Orleans Lady. Angel's Flight struggles here in Florida and I feel Marshmallow Sunset will be a good replacement for it in my breeding program.
The photo above shows the beautiful orange color that develops in cooler weather. As the blooms mature over a couple of days the corolla teeth re-curve and the blooms have a puffy marshmallow look to them.
I have second generation seedlings with Marshmallow Sunset both as a pod and pollen parent growing out now. I expect some of them to bloom this fall. I also recently sowed seeds from an additional 20+ crosses I made with this new cultivar in the spring. I have high hopes for the outcome.
