I purchased some seeds online. I managed to get a few to germinate on my window sill. Unfortunately, my dear cat knocked them off all over the floor, so my labels got mixed up.

What I have is the pod parent for them is Rubirosa. But the pollen parent is what got mixed up. Both crosses had Rubirosa x ??? The mixed up parentage for pollen parent could be Goldflame or Lizzy.

One of the plants just bloomed for the first time. I got a weird bloom color. Not pink or yellow. More like a very pale peach color. This is the actual color of the blooms which have been open for 2 days now and are starting to wilt. So the color is what it is. Is there anyway to tell which pollen parent could have created this seedling brugmansia? It seems odd that the color turned out like this. Is that possible given the possible parent names or could the seeds have been mislabeled when I bought them?

And I have another question unrelated to the above .... what is the Brugmansia cultivar name that has the largest bloom?

Thanks in advance!
