I've had at least one of these growing for the last 7-8 years. Last year a Moonflower "contaminated" one of my plants and the blooms were just pure white. I kept the other sprouts away from it... finally gave it away because I didn't want it to ruin my little babies. Well.. they're back to making the gorgeous ruffled purple & white flowers that I fell in love with!

I need to start one for one my aunts. She loves them but forgets to protect them during the winter. She calls them "that dancer flower"!
Beautiful Cheryl, i got some seeds from a friend in the USA,..the seeds took and so far the seedlings are about 2 inches tall,..it would be great if mine turn out anything like yours,..mine are Purple Doubles,..if they grow!!.
These have always grown well for me from seed. And produces alot of seeds... just in case they don't make it through the winter. Should bloom in the first year too. Can't ask for much more than that!
Gorgeous! I would love one. I only ever see the white ones here for sale. I shall have to investigate.
OO I think your Ballerina Angel Trumpets are simply gorgeous. I don't blame you for falling in love with them.
I was checking my two hot houses tonight,..well one hot house happens to be a three foot long fish tank,..two foot high,..with a sheet of glass on top,..and lo and behold three Angel Trumpets have come up since yesterday,..plus i have more coming along in the other hot house,..and three growing in the garden that are about three inches high,..i am feeling lucky,..all Double Purple.
