Aptly named Angel's Trumpets, Brugmansia,
is a genus of large, woody, perennial plants in the Solanaceae (Nightshade) family.
The name Angel’s Trumpet refers to the very large flowers which are funnel, tubular, or trumpet shaped. There are currently seven recognized species of Brugmansia and hundreds of hybrids. Some hybrids appear to be naturally occurring.
Flava – Yellow.
Flava is a cross between Sanguinea and Arborea. The flowers are approx 8 – 10 inches. Flowers have a yellowish green vein.
Brugmansias hail from tropical America with a range throughout Central and South America including some Islands of the Caribbean. Among the various species characteristics can vary greatly but they all carry similar traits common to the genus. Brugmansias are long lived, woody, perennials which can attain heights up to 8 meters with a nearly equal spread in some species.
Most species and their hybrids have highly fragrant flowers. The flower’s large size, obvious beauty, and intoxicating scent, mainly in the evening, have made them popular garden and container plants throughout the World. There are millions of growers and collectors worldwide and several organizations and groups which cater solely to the genus Brugmansia.
Believe it or not: Hold a true friend with both hands.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the huge flowers. Aren't they highly poisonous?
ReplyDeleteBernie; thank you, yes, I think so too; they flower on and on, displaying their beauty.
ReplyDeleteDiane; Thank you; yes, they are, but who wants to eat them? Many plants in the garden are poisonous. These just got a bad reputation because some fools used them and went on a trip!
