We are honoured to have several well known hybridizers in our midst. It would help us out if you would list your hybrids for the group. I, for one, want to know who to thank when my plants bloom this year.

Eclipse, Hodnik's has all 4 of your released hybrids on its english list of plants for sale.
Eagerly awaiting your new releases Kyle. Heck, if nothing else pictures would be nice. I must confess such wonderful pictures gives one hope and a desire to make such crosses oneself. Of course it hardly makes sense to make the same cross as another if you can get the same cross from another. I must confess I am guilty of growing a few of your hybrids Kyle.
Brugmansia..Thanks! But My original intention was just to come up with new plants for my own use.Back in the 70's and 80's there were only a few (4) kinds available. when I lived in San Diego..there were only white suaveolens available.I haven't really done much Hybridizing for several years and others have left me in the dust.LOL So Guess its time for a come-back....LOOK out I'm on a roll again! :-)
Kyle, A very impressive list you have there, and I too would love to see photos of your upcoming releases - I will be looking forward to seeing them. Thanks for all your efforts :)
Eclipse,
*lol* Sounds like Denmark in 1990 (and even now *lol*). ´Here in 2002 no Danish Nurseries know Brugmansia "A brugman-what???" Three types here all labeled Datura and treated with growth inhibitors to make small compact plants. Currently I have a collection (private seedbank) of Datura and Brugmansia seeds with 250 different accession numbers, but still the nurseries have only the double D. metel ... no, that is not fair to the nursery in Ringsted. Three years ago they went to the Netherland and bought a truckload of plants (also labeled Datura) and these turned out to be D. inoxia *lol*
The only Datura species I have hard to find sources for is kyomatocarpa, reburra, lanosa and velutinosa. The two latter are probably in my collection labeled as inoxia, meteloides or wrightii.
I don`t know exactly, how I managed to make make this large collection??? But I like to do it with Brugmansia too, even this is harder, because most hybrids will not come true from seeds :)
Tonny, I use to collect wild seeds from Datura inoxia in the western USA..a beautiful white with a bluish edge...very variable in different locales.Alawys in desert areas.
I'm sorry Eclipse - I've tried to feel sorry but the bad side of me won. I have Sunray. I love it and you can't have it back. Now I'm lusting for the dinner plate one. Thank you so much for all your hard work and patience.
Lol, Liz you have me laughing again. i'm trying not to lust...
Liz, I never wanted them back..They are for everyone...I see that Sunray is overseas now too!. :-)
eclipse, could you give me a link or the name of the french site you referred to before?
Please Kyle, give us some pictures.
I am wild for any good bright pinks or peach, or dbls.(colored).
Thanks for being here, we are certainly enjoying it.
Gloria
Eclipse - I hope you know I was joking??? (But you still can't have it back)

Liz,
You are so bad. LOL
So far I've only seen Kyle's list. I'd like to hear from Eric, Gloria, Monika, Jeanne, anyone who has developed something special. We don't have to know what you crossed to get it, but it would be nice to see what you have all developed. I think it is a huge accomplishment to develop a new brug. Anyone who has done it should be proud as heck.
A picture posted on the forum will get you a lot of pats on the back and you deserve them.

Gloria has posted a few of her beautiful creations for us already. As for me, I have only created a very few and if memory serves me I have sent everyone a few examples of each. I will most certainly post pictures of my hybrids when they bloom next time. I must confess though that most of you will have your own blooms on my hybrids by then as well. Dr.D and Amber Rose are my two favorites from my seedling bed. Both are Dr.Sues x Ecuador pink. Both of these hybrids were selected from a batch of several thousand seedlings of which I only grew up a few hundred to flowering size and only selected the first two that bloomed. I realize I sacrifice bloom shape and color in favor of early blooming hybrids. Dr. D not only bloomed several times in its first year, it also set seedpods. Kyles pink was a Candida cross and it looks mostly versicolor, but it did set seed a seedpod its first year from seed itself as well. All three hybrids were named after my kids. Dr. D stands for Dr.Sues and D for Damian.
Arlene, www.tropicaflore.com The Notre Collection part in the middle of the page has a pic of my Ver Ecuador pink that they stole off Vicki's web site. I told them to remove it and they didn't.........Boycott em..
I love it, Kyle, I have no fear that with you hybridizing again we are all in for some most pleasant surprises. I must confess I am elated to simply hear that you are back to your old hybridizing antics where it concerns Brugmansia. You are in for it now for sure Kyle. You just wait and seed.
thanks, eclipse. never fear. i have pretty much decided all i want now are the hybrids people make (except of course for a couple of everything from monika!!)
Brugmansia.....easy there..your scarin me now!!!((Knees shaking!!)))..LOL
Wait and seed?Your doin it again!!
