Angel Trumpet, Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia versicolor peach-flowered)

Angel Trumpet, Angel's Trumpet
Brugmansia versicolor peach-flowered

On day 1, they start creamy yellow then turn white, finally pink

aking1a, These are beautiful shots of your brugmansia! However, it's definitely not an example of a versicolor peach. If you have a cultivar name we can move your photos to the correct entry. Could it possibly be 'Frosty Pink'?

I can tell you only what was on the label - this photo and the two others I also added are all from the same plant. When the flower starts to drop out of the sheath, it is a very light yellow. On a sunny day, the blooms open mostly white with a tinge of pink. On a cloudy day, the bloom opens perfectly white. By the next day, the white has changed to the bright pink and by the following day, to a peach color. It blooms in waves so most of the time all of these colors can be seen at once. The trumpets stand out more like Datura until about the third day then they hang down like the others I have.

I do not claim to be an expert on the Brugs - so if there is an error in the name, it is because that was what was on the label. If you think it is something else, let me know so I can change it in my own database.

Thanks for replying. It looks like a brugmansia suaveolens hybrid to me but I can't definitely say what the cultivar would be. Some of them just look too much a like. Versicolor blooms hang straight down vertically. I've moved your images into this entry which is kind of a catch all for the unknown hybrids. If we find a cultivar name we can always move it again. http://plantsdatabase.com/showimage/40474/

Looking thru the photos of Frosty Pink, my guess is that this is what my plant is - there is a night photo showing the trumpets standing out with the yellow, white and vivid pink stages all shown. There is yet another photo of a trumpet - probably in the third day with that soft, peachy pink color and leathery look to the flower itself.

Good call Poppy,I would agree with AKing,the blooming traits sound like a Frosty.

Sounds good to me... Thanks, rooty.

After viewing the other photos on this site, went to to Brug and Datura association and wandered thru their galleries - I am convinced enough that I have already changed my own database to reflect Frosty.

This plant is only 3 years old and before this year, was a sparse bloomer. This year it has really been spectacular. I have had 2 waves of blooms with at least 500 blooms each time. Seeing all the colors simultaneously on trumpets that were actually standing up instead of hanging down was an awesome experience.

It's a beautiful plant and looks like it loves your climate. It definitely fits the Frosty description much better then versicolor peach. I'm glad we got it cleared up :o)
