Hybridizing , don't always work out..but it's always a surprise.

Hybridizing isn't an exact science  , some might say it is..but the truth is that nature does not always bend to your will.  But you can try...

So you grow in the hope that you can perhaps influence nature. Tweak it maybe. Sometimes the results can be amazing.

This particular cross was made from  a mix of colours, a yellow and two pinks. So you think it might be the one with the stronger genes that will win through. Sometimes, more than often you get a white bloom. This isn't a total surprise, and the white gene is strong.

This one grown out by my good friend Terry  is far from being a disappointment just being a white bloom. It has a strong scent, a bloom that lasts for days due to the firmness of the corolla.  If you have ever smelt the stalwart Grand Marnier, this has that scent and is a smaller bloom, so in some ways to some a improvement.

A good white Brugmansia are often under appreciated, but like white roses in the garden, they seem to glow  illuminated by the moonlight.
