++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Brugmansia 'Dwarf Pink'n'Green' x.Unknown (Y13)
Hybridizer: Shaun Douglas
Seedling Parent: Shaun Douglas
This is a aurea hybrid.
i believe the pollen parent is 'Tantra' with the characteristics that is shown on this bloom.
It is about 19 months old and a very cute little white/yellow bloom with a light fragrance similar to 'Knightii'.
The plant is about 7 foot tall and bloom had open on a 30oC+ day.
This is the most unusual bloom of all it is erect facing the sky. as the bloom develops it bloom from pendulous to and slowly works its way to horizontal.
then as the calyx is being broken by the corolla it then becomes erect like its closest relative DATURA.
NOTE: this one i will be watching for the next year to see what may come of it or if the flower was just a first time issue?. Virus free, Insect semi-resistant

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Brugmansia 'Tantra' x.'Ecuador Pink' (Z13)
Hybridizer: Shaun Douglas
Seedling Parent: Shaun Douglas
this is one that first bloomed in November and i was so excited to get a double from this combination.
The plant Y'd at about 4 foot tall and had 2 flowers on it both were semi double more like petaloid but in the next flush (Now) it has formed in to a semi double (Proper) the corolla is about 12-13 inches long and is white the petal tip is about 1.5 inches long the lip of the bloom is recurved and the second corolla is just folded with in!. there is a light fragrance and i find this very good looking white bloom, No signs of Virus, has issues with mites

Brugmansia aurea (form) x.'DRC' (AB13)
Hybridizer: Shaun Douglas
Seedling Parent: Shaun Douglas
this plant is about 4 foot tall about 20 months old, like the rest of the cross.
the first bloom cycle had many flowers of a rich golden butter colour to about 7" long and the petal tips 1 1/4" long. The typical aurea fragrance with a dash of talc on top.

Hybridizer: Cestrum_SEQ (Australia)
Seedling Parent: Shaun Douglas
sown 3/4/2012 this is just under 24 months old another plant that waisted room while growing it out!
no real benefit growing this one out but still have a few more of the same cross.

NOTE: COMPOSTED
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Brugmansia 'DRC' x.Unknown (AD13)                  
Hybridizer: Shaun Douglas
Seedling Parent: Shaun Douglas
for some reason i feel that the pollen parent is Tantra,
The color is of neither parent the form is not from the pollen parent.
The plant is about 22 months old and bloomed at a height of 75 cm.
 This bloom is a squat face waxy corolla as wide as it is long the corolla lips roll back and the petal tips curve hard the corolla seems to just open beyond the calyx and the fragrance is of an aurea type but a bit less potent, when bloom in summer it gets a amber glow about it. with no real problems this is a very cute bloom

QUOTE:
suaveolens White X.?* 2/10/2011 (* Maybe X.Full Rosea Magic but probably not)
The plant grow like most other suaveolens in my seedling area until one day i was feeling the flower buds of all the plants to see how far they are in development of budding, i noticed that this one was fat heavy and splitting open. it showed potential and looked like it had multiple corollas. i then took the bud of and investigated it it had at least 3 skirts, the bloom was quite deformed. the following blooms are these pics attached:

the plant Y'd at 6 foot tall had around 6 flowers and all had the same traits the first corolla shorter and slightly tattered with green & pink colors the second & third corollas dropped further down by about 5" and are close to each other and have a great shape & form to them the pink is a medium  color the corolla tips are about 2.5/3 cm long the fragrance is mild and pleasant
NOTE: watching this for next season
