Pink Angel's Trumpet

Pink Angel's Trumpet

I try to keep these flower pictures seasonal.  I photographed this Brugmansia arborea at Kingwood Greenhouse in November of 2007.

This capture was made difficult by the downward angle at which it grows.  When I saw "arborea" in its scientific name I wondered about it.  I just read at Wikipedia that it is a small tree which can grow up to 21'.

In the 10 years since the capture, I seem to have forgotten that it is strongly fragrant. 

I did remember the bloom to be large.

Wikipedia reports that the plant is native to the Andes mountains in Southern Columbia.
