Looking for a stunning strong compact White Brugmansia in trade?

Have a few strong section cuttings to trade of Brugmansia 'Little Angel' to trade. One or two Y'd.

Its beautiful white flowers, nocturnal night fragrance, and leaves are full sized and the plants are traditionally shaped. They are pure gleaming white that seem to glow at dusk and night creating a moongarden effect.

The distance between stem leaf nodes is about half that of many Brugs and so the plants are compact, and about have the size of other large white flowered varieties. The flowers have neat wispy margin ends. The flowers lean out a bit so they display well and don't tangle in the leaves.

'Little Angel' is not shy. It's a Strong vigorous grower with fat stems. It blooms early at a very compact size e.g. 1.5+', often even before it Y's. Every leaf node blooms for us. So after midsummer it is never out of bloom, even in our cool PNW summers! It is root hardy to z7 or 8, depending on the website viewed.

I feel the the 'Little Angel' name is misleading. Should be called "Mighty Compact White", 'Napolean White'?

The plant below in a prior year was grown only with 3-4 hrs direct sun in a cool shady yard. So it is also proven performer in part sun locations.

One 4.5' plant stored at 40-45 F in our unheated garage, unwatered and leafless now, is still pumping out some flowers in January (downsized by stress). The photo below of that plant, was taken outside before storage, after a couple weeks of ~40F weather just before late Nov frosts. Otherwise the leaves are solid green with no yellow!

Little Angle's compact size lets it be more easily stored inside compared to many. The fat stems make cuttings that store well, reroot easily, and working reliably for winter backup plants.

I'm looking to trade for 'Snowbank', 'Cherub', 'Cypress Gardens', or an orange or dark rose colored variety (especially double flowered). Would also consider a hardy ginger including Hedychium 'Tara' or 'Steven Weeks'.
