Thanks very much, Ally. We once had a squash plant that had huge flowers this color. It never produced squash for some reason, but the flowers were worth it. 🙂
Utterly wicked and completely magnificent. Datura! It is indeed the “devil’s trumpet.” Shouting out it’s look-at-me- glory and enticing you with its heady fragrance. I do admire it in other people’s garden, but we have young children who visit and it I know it is dangerous. Your photograph is beautiful. Thank you Janet. XXX Virginia
I had no idea what it was or that it was dangerous, Virginia. We were walking around a lovely little German town when I saw this and had to take a photo. It looks much too beautiful to be called “devil’s trumpet.” 🙂
The first time I saw this plant it lined the walkway to a private home. At least a dozen plants on each side. They were about six feet tall and THEY WERE SPECTACULAR. They grow well here on the West Coast. Again, thank you for the beautiful photograph Janet. Cheers Virginia
The photograph is wonderfully taken.
I’m glad you like it, Sisir.

Amazing one this is 🙂
Thanks and happy Friday, Hammad.

That is gorgeous – just like a silk tent of a haram in an old Hollywood tradition. (We do get all our best ideas from nature?)
I hadn’t thought of it that way, but it is very similar. 🙂

Love that shade of orange. Nature does the color orange better than anything created by man. Wonderful photo.

I really like the angle 🙂
Thanks, Dan. 🙂

Love the perspective and feeling like I’m under the canopy of trumpets!
Thanks, Deborah. Makes me feel a bit like an elf or something, hiding under the flowers. 🙂

Gorgeous Detura. Wow great backlight
Thanks very much, Carol. Have a great weekend.

Thanks you to. I hope you warm and safe
We just spent the evening with friends, Carol, so that weekend is off to a great start.
Wonderfully intimate view of what I think is a datura. Great photo, Janet.
It must be a datura, because you’re the second person to identify it as such. No matter what it is, I’m glad you enjoyed the photo, Jet.
