Smallest Miniature white trumpet here

Note: Photographed outside today, 2/20/11. The flower had not been open 24 hours.
This is now a Selection from V99-3-6 = Xana x Candlepower. It is, perhaps, the smallest white trumpet I’ve flowered. Not the widest (other Selections from the V99-3 grex are wider) but very white, VERY early, and truly tiny. As you can see, the plant height is just at 3″ tall (74 mm from the tip of the segment to the ground). The flower diameter is 26 mm or about 1″. The corona length is 12 mm and the segment length is 10 mm. Have shown this for four or five years now. Seemed to be liked by A.D.S. Judges and was much commented on by the public. It is tiny!
Will try and photograph one of these within a few days posed next to ‘Camborn’ (just cracking buds today) which will really allow you to see just how small this is compared to a “regular” Miniature.

  1. Hi Steve,
    This one is really nice.  I wondered what you are doing to try to get wider petals.  I know you are not just hoping some of them will be wider.  …or is that a secret?
