      Trumpet lilies today

      My favorite trumpet lily plants are in full bloom today, and thought sharing them here could be interesting.

      The big one with yellow blooms is now 14 feet tall in its fourth year after overwintering it every year inside under grow lights.

      Sideways, but gorgeous! This really is their best season. Here are the ones on my deck right now, from a tiny cutting I overwintered:

      .

      Just a quick note: these are actually Brugmansia. Related to tobacco, they are in the Solanaceae family, like tomatoes and belladonna - deadly nightshade. But they are far more poisonous than nightshade. They have been used in shamanic rituals for centuries, so much that some species are now extinct in the wild. When Wade Davis was writing The Serpent and the Rainbow, for a while he suspected they were the source of the 'zombie poison' (in the end, it turned out the poison was derived from shellfish).

      Their common name is Angel's Trumpet - not because of their shape, but because if folks weren't careful around them, they'd soon be hearing the angels' trumpets!

      More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugmansia

      Best,

      Bill

      Really beautiful. I used to grow them, but they are not hardy here, so it was very challenging and they did not survive one of our colder, wetter winters.

      Benicia, CA, still on the bay so that it cools off nightly but far enough from the coast to be nice.

      They are called angel trumpet because the trumpet end is pointed down from the sky... there is also a plant called devil's trumpet (Datura) with a similar flower shape, but the trumpet end is pointed up.

      I was sent a small cutting that was Air-layered.
      I got my first flower this year... but it's in a pot still and my neighbor agreed to water for me during the week and he didn't :-( Lost all the leaves but it's still alive. Trying to find the "Perfect" spot in the ground for it!
