The Angel's Trumpet ( Brugmansia ) is a large shrub or small tree. It has large pendulous flowers and is available in several colours. It has a long flowering season and the mass flowering is often set off by rain and at night, you can smell the intense perfume of the flowers. Despite it's nice name, this plant needs to be handled with care, as every part of it is poisonous. Some people make cigarettes and smoke different parts of the plant, but this could invite the angel of death, not trumpets. Suited to temperate and tropical climates. This plant was photographed locally in Sydney.
