I'm looking for possibly a burgundy, a deep red, something along those lines.

Recommend a Darker Brug?
Steve, The only red brugmansia there is at this time is B. Sanguinea which is a cool weather grower. I don't think it does well in Florida. The next darkest one I can think of is B. Painted Lady which is a dark pink.
You may want to check Anne Kirchner-Abels Website www.kirchner-abel.de go to Neuzuechtungen aus Duisburg 2002, click on her PINK PERFEKTION this is the photo from her Album she compares the color to as red as a tomato, you have to ask her about this

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
I'll send her an email, and askher about it. I hope she understands English.

If you need help i can translate for you, I am from Germany
Burgele,
I sent Anne an email (in English), asking her if she had the Pink Perfektion. I also asked her if she had, or was aware of, a darker Brug.
I never heard back from her. Maybe she doesn't understand English.
Would you mind sending her an email? There are links on the website you provided me.
Thanks. Steve
If you don't have the permit necessary to import Brugmansias, I understand that it is not that difficult to get, but the importation can be expensive. Some Brug growers have chosen instead to get a permit to import seed. There are several threads regarding this here on DG. The other alternative would be to find someone to import it for you, but since they would have to keep it in quarantine for you for 2 years, you'd be paying big bucks. Are you sure a lighter pink wouldn't do? Importing without a permit could also cost you a lot of money if caught.
Pink Pefektion is already in the United States and has been on eBay a couple times. It was a topic of discussion here about a month ago, I think.
