Thank you Alan I was pretty sure it was you as I still have the little envelope the seeds were in.
This seedling is having its first flush.
A stunner I think.
Love it. Just Beautiful.
Good morning Alan,I was just looking at your site again, such beautiful blooms, and remember me any time you have seeds for sale.

Thanks everyone.

Wow, that is so pretty. First red one I have seen! Let me know if you have cutings or seeds for sale later. Kinda hot for shipping cuttings right now.
Linda,
We can only admire them from afar. This is a hybrid of two Brug species that can't stand the hot Texas heat. Both cultivars are listed as flava in iBrugs.com's List of Cultivars, but Alan would know more about their ancestry. I'm not sure how warm they can get and still survive. They will probably not survive long enough to bloom in our heat. Now if you had an air conditioned greenhouse...
If iBrugs.com is correct, Brugmansia sanguinea is one of the parents of these two hybrids. In the past few years, I have killed so many B. sanguinea seedlings that I feel like a murderer. They are one of the easiest Brugs to germinate, but as soon as the temperature gets above 80ºF - 85ºF, they keel over dead. Some literally die overnight. I started all the seeds in winter and by early April, they are about a foot high with big healthy leaves and sturdy little trunks. As soon as the weather heats up, they start to do downhill and die. Of all the Brug sanguinea seedlings I have grown, I managed to get exactly 1 through August by hiding it below my other Brugs, but my mid-September it too was dead.
Unless Alan can come up with a heat tolerant hybrid of these gorgeous Brugs, photos are the only way we can enjoy them.
Oh well, we can dream!
Thanks for the info!
