This is the original Golden Lady bred by the late Mrs. Neu.
It grows very slow but blooms early in the year. The name is misleading. Color most cream to pastell yellow.

Monika,
My Golden Lady has just begun to bloom and the flowers are cream colored....will the next flush of flowers be darker?
Thats still on my "Gotta get it "list!I love that
I like the shape and color on that hybrid, but I am a bit confused on what you mean by blooming early in the year. I only select out hybrids that bloom in the first year from seed. Other hybrids that die back to the ground outside that are named varieties all bloom at varying times in relation to one another, but some hybrids never die back as they are in warmer locations and hence bloom all year long....Still confused, but happy to be learning.
My question, how does one determine if a hybrid is early blooming in the year...is this done when it is a seedling only or is this used in reference to how frequently it blooms and how prolifically it blooms its first year from seed or....

Golden Lady and Kleine Lady cannot be confused. The foilage and the flower are different. Kleine Lady has double and single from orange to peach colored flowers. Early flowering stands for early in the year, with a begin already in May, depending in culture conditions.
Tonny buy the LISA balcony garden magazine. In the March edition you will find an article about slow growing Brugmansias. The plants are my own. The photograph ows a nursery just for making pictures. I had to send the plants to him. They were hanging full with buds.They also used some of my own color slides.
If you keep posting pictures like that Monika I am going to go blind staring at this computer terminal...of course your descriptions and knowledge is just another reason to stare blankly at this screen. Still trying to soak it all up. Thanks for sharing with us.
Eric I have about 2000 pictures and color slides.
If you want to see a certain Brug. and I have it, just let me know.
I am pretty sure that the day will come that I will stare at my computer terminal to see your own hybrids. The day will not be to far away. There are some of Kyles hybrids, I really would like to have.
Monika, I am proud to say I have grown a few of Kyles hybrids. I of course would like some aurea hybrids of his as the hybrids of his I have grown have generally had much too big of a flower for me. I like small petite aurea types and arborea types with heavy fragrance in pinks, peaches and oranges....Heavy blooomers and blooming from first year a definite plus....
Monika, what a great photo.
The Golden Lady that has bloomed for me is not as yellow. A softer yellow---but in Mississippi we have intense heat and the ph levels can make the flowers intense or pale. Mine bloomed in late August.
Monika...Did I hear you right?????You want some of MY hybrids??? Mine a a pale memory next to yours and the Preissel Bros hybrids.What can mine have to offer....? :-)
Brugmansia...most of my Aurea crosses have large flowers..some really large..a few come out small.Like Aurea X Butterscotch Clone #1
Yes you heard right Kyle! For instance I like that aurea x butterscotch clone #2.
that clone #2 is gorgeous.
Monika...I'm honored.....to think ANYTHING I grow could be interesting to German or European hybridizers.My gene pool never had aureas till just the last few years and I haven't pursued any crosses for about 3 years or so.Clone #1 is a huge deep flower..I posted earlier on a post.They are both extremely fertile both as pollen and seed parents.
Now this is getting exciting!
These guys are so young and have so many more years to do their hybridizing.
I don't know if I can live long enough to see anything of worth that I might do!
You've got that right, this is getting interesting, don't know if my brain can handle all the things I have learned in last month!!!
Keep trying to teach us, Monika, Kyle and Eric, hope I didn't leave anyone out.
Gloria and Tonny-those two have some beautiful hybrids. I think Ida is one of my new favorites. If I can create something as beautiful as Tonny's Ida or Gloria's Becca Lynn then I will be on to something. I figure half the battle is cheating...ie using their hybrids to help me along...a fellow has to start somewhere....Of course Monika's seedlings are a great place to start for anyone...just wish I had more of Monika's seedlings from which to start...I am a greedy one am I not?
Eric, you dream brugs, you can't help it:)
Monika,
That is so beautiful. I am going to try and grow some kind of double.
The best thing about trying, it gives you a real appreciation for the hard effort that it took other hybridizers to create the hybrids they have created. I wish uou much luck in your hybridizing attempts. I always ask my Brugmansia to put the best seed in the end of the pod. That way I only have to plant one seed. Of course as you might have guessed that hasn't worked out for me quite yet, but theres no harm in asking.
Eric, I have planted over 500 seeds in the past two days. Not my seeds, mind you, but I'm doing what I can to help the cause. Not one of those little buggers stood up and said "it's me, it's me" !!!!
I was very close to loose all my seedlings this evening :(
Today it was bright warm weather and I took the little green guys out to draw some vitamins from the sun. I was supposed to get them in again, before supper, but I forgot and choosed to watch something about greenhouses in England on the telly. At 8 this evening I discovered the seedlings. The soil surface was frozen stiff and I took the poor things into the kitchen for very slowly heating up. Most of them have survived now for 2½ hours, but one sanguinea turned to mold and three got switched leaves. What are their chances of further growthspeed and development?
btw. two of them are labeled: "Butterfly x versicolor peach". Who made these? I want to say, that they until now grow fast from seeds and are more solid, than sanguinea seedlings and a bit more short haired :)

oh nooooooooooooo :( I hope they make it!!!!!!!!
OH No!! Is it that cold there?? I hope they recover.
I think now, that they will make it, but I admit that I was worried about them some hours ago. Thanks for your concern : ) This past two days we had warm days and cool nights, but the temperatures will rise by 3 or 4 days. I feel, that I am very lucky, that things not got as bad, as I exspected : )
