I am not certain I understand what you refer to as an "outward facing blossom". Brugmansia, as a rule, are downward facing unlike datura which face outward. That being said, there are a number of brugmansia that are the color you are looking for. One of my favorites is Dr. Seuss, and should be available from most nurseries.

Carrie-

Thanks for the quick response.

I was wondering if hybridizers might have developed Brugs that had a tendency towards more horizontally held flowers instead of pendulous or downward hanging flowers. Thanks for informing me that Datura blossoms face outwards. I wasn't aware of that, being new to this game.

Dr. Seuss is a very nice Brug. and has a great color.

Many thanks,

Yes there are several hybrids out there now that hold the blooms more horizontal. If you look through the brugmansia variety galleries on BGI you will see them.

I recently bought a cutting of Splish Splash and it's described as: Flower Position: Horizontal

The flowers on Shooting Star, a single yellow orange, are held a little more horizontal than many brugmansias. It is easier to find available than some of the others.

I would like to see some double and triples that are more horizontal but the blooms are heavier when there's more skirts but it would still be neat.
