JT Session's

A few years ago I got seeds from JT and I just don't push the plants as I have in the past.  This one was allowed to grow naturally.  Each year she didn't bloom so I would hope for the next year.  On Monday this is what I found when I opened the brug house!  WOW!!  She is breath taking, thank you.

For those of you with the old ABADS color chart she is #255,122,122 for the deepest shade and 255, 168, 168 for the lightest shade.  The bloom is 10 inches with tendrils measuring 2 and 1/2 inches.There is a fragrance but it's one I can't define.  Pollen is going to be saved.  The only pollen I have available is Shorty's variegated so we hybridized this one.

11/12/2013 bloom, which we crossed with pollen from B. 'Wild Thing.'

We are sorry to report we have lost this Brugmansia.

When I opened the Brug House today I notice the
white brug in the back corner had changed colors
I can report this one is the above cross.




















The tendrils are 3 inches!!  Stigma that was found
was split when I removed the anthers.  This was a
first seeing this on any of the brugmansias.  It is my
understanding the B. Culebra has to stigma. 




Our Dad

What a difference a few days make.  On Monday 10/28/2013, our Dad passed away after a brief fight with lung cancer.   I do thank those family and friends whom keep popping in to visit him in his final days and for those of you that posted photos of him on FB.  My niece Stacey posted the last photo she took and it's the best we have see Dad look in months.  I dearly thank her for the photo she shared.  Keep him in your hearts until we see him again.  I know he is with brother Marc.  Rest in Peace Dad!
