Angel Trumpet

Brugmansia

This is a fun plant for this area.....it is poisonous
so the deer leave it alone...it blooms at night. The
photo of the bud was taken yesterday evening and you can see
the bloom here: http://www.pbase.com/image/32259118
I'm going to try to make a gallery of this plant because
it is so interesting and had bugs all over it. Maybe tonight.

Smashing! What a curious, ornate looking flower. Love the frilly little curls -- very nice focus on them.

There are certain stages of a bloom that are better than others, this is one of those.
All the best to your John.

I think it is neater like this than when it opens. I like the color.

This is so cool. I think we have these here but I never saw one all wrapped up like this and I certainly didn't know they were poison. I love the way you photographed this and the curliques and shadows. Very nice.

Gorgeous photo. In the New Orleans area there is legislation being present to outlaw the plant because teenagers are making tea with the flowers and hallucinating and killing themselves.
