B. Hunter, Tyler and Dusty

 Back in the 1990s when I first

got B. Shorty's Variegated I started

playing with her with B. Charles

Grimaldi's pollen.  I was told that

I would only get albinos.  To my

surprise I got more than albinos.

The first one was names B. Jutner

Peachy Cream the same year I

was also was able to get B. Hunter

which was never release.  A couple

years later with another B. Charles

Grimaldi's pollen I was able to cross

again and found two solid seedlings!

B. Tyler and Dusty were their given

names but again not released.  B. Tyler

was a Brugmansia that was harder to 

grow than the other two.  I thought I 

lost that one several times but to my

surprise all three bloomed this year!

These were named after a garden 

friend's son that had a good friend 

that die of Cancer.  B. Hunter was 

really special and one was passed 

along to Dusty, whom I lost track of

and hope she is well.  I heard that 

Dusty lost her son Tyler and her 

husband.  I miss my old friend.

Here is a photo of all three in bloom.

The tall on is B. Hunter, the three blooms

to the left is B. Tyler and you can barely

see B. Dusty to the right in the photo.  The 

tall one in the center is B. Hunter.

The above one always stayed a greenish

color but this year with the heat we are

seeing the salmon shade.

B. Dusty

Who is also turning the salmon

shade.

B. Jutner Peachy Cream

The above was a cross with a B. named

Jutner Orange/ aka Charles Grimaldi.

Story goes some nursery across the pond

couldn't sell B. Charles Grimaldi and so 

they changed the name to B. Jutner Orange

and a local nursery bought one.

The others were cross with a B. Charles

Grimaldi that was found locally.

B. Jutner Peachy Cream has been

blooming since the end of May.
