This is Xena's second night. I like the color contrast between the ribs and the rest of the corolla. Not too crazy about the recurved skirt though, but I guess one can't have everything. I'm always curious about a Brug's ancestry and rely heavily on the following sources for that information:
http://www.abads.org/abads/Registry/namelist/
This cultivar name list used to have photos of many of the cultivar linked to it, but those disappeared when ABADS bit the dust. The Registry name list is still up, but I don't know for how long. This list was made using a spreadsheet application. To make sure I don't lose the information, I went to the File Menu Bar and scrolled down to "Save Page As" and saved the namelist in the "All Files" format. Then I opened Excel, opened the namelist file and saved it as an Excel file.
Brugmansia Growers International took over the responsibility of registering Brugs. Their name list (Family Tree Database) has photos associated with it, but unless you are a member, you can't see it. I'd provide a link to the Database, but you'd get a curt message.
IBrugs.com has a cultivar name list as well. I hope they add photos soon.

I mention all this because I like to go back 2 or 3 generations to see what cultivars were involved in producing the Brug I have. When I looked up Xena I noticed that Rosabella is the pollen parent. There is no Rosabella listed in any of the 3 Brug name lists. There is a Rosabelle listed. Could it be a spelling error even here?
