{Angel's Trumpet}

Already on June 10, Pieter photographed our Brugmansia species 'Angel's Trumpet' with its very first blossoms. Usually they continue to bloom all through summer. This year however, because of the drought, we've waited in vain - nothing has bloomed after these two. Sorry, not much to show but this is it for 2011. We got these beauties from Logee's. This Andean native is sweetly fragrant. Look below post at {Our last Datura Angel's Trumpets and TEA with a Twist} how it looked last year in November!
It becomes a flower within a flower.
Its botanical name is: Datura inoxia var. quinquecuspida. Common names: devil's trumpet, downy thornapple, toloache, angel's trumpet. Family: Solanaceae (nightshade Family).

    Che bellezza, sembra abbia dei piccoli tentacoli, delle braccia sinuose che si allungano verso la macchina fotografica!
    Felice giornata...

    You and me both, sadly, then , have not much luck with this stunning plant- aklthough you still have these pictures! I grew mine from seed quite succesfully, byt , having no green house, but a garage with windowns, let them overwinter there.. and out of sight is out of mind.. so my proud Datura's withered away due to lack of water .. so sad.I have seen fabulous " Trees" of these in Germany, and the scent is .. well , it just blows you away! Maybe next year for both of us!!

    Deze bloem is prachtig Mariette, het is een dubbele hè? Ik heb hem eens van papier gemaakt, heel lastig, maar is wél gelukt.

    Groetjes Janny

    Hello mariette,
    it is truly an Angels trumpet, would love to hear the music that an Angel could make with this blooms. I have a simple pink one. Love the smell.
    Best greetings, Johanna

    Dear Mariette, You Angel's Trumpet is absolutely gorgeous. Mine has not bloomed at all. So many things in my garden have not bloomed this year. It would take two hands to name them all. I have a neighbor who has a large one that blooms til frost. Alas, it did not bloom this year.
    I am so glad that you have these two beautiful blooms. This year, we have to get out there and get pics to enjoy later.
    Have a great day.
    Love to You,
    Ginger
