Brugmansia sanguinea. Brugmansia are large shrubs or small trees, with semi-woody, often many-branched trunks. They can reach heights of 3–11 m (10–36 ft). The leaves are alternately arranged along the stems, generally large, 10–30 cm (4–12 in) long and 4–18 cm (2–7 in) across, with an entire or coarsely toothed margin, and are often covered with fine hairs.
Brugmansia suaveolens, Brazil's white angel trumpet, also known as angel's tears and snowy angel's trumpet, [1] is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae, native to south eastern Brazil, but thought to be extinct in the wild.
Brugmansia × candida (syn. Datura × candida), the angel's trumpet, is a hybrid species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae. [2] Its parents are Brugmansia aurea and Brugmansia versicolor , with both listed as extinct in the wild .
Brugmansia sanguinea, the red angel's trumpet, is a species of South American flowering shrub or small tree belonging to the genus Brugmansia in tribe Datureae of subfamily Solanoideae of the nightshade family Solanaceae.
Angel's trumpet (also Angel's-trumpet and Angel's-trumpets) may refer to: two closely related genera of poisonous flowering plants in the family Solanaceae: Brugmansia, woody plants with pendulous flowers Brugmansia × candida, a widespread garden plant; Datura, herbaceous plants with erect flowers
One of the most prominent characteristics of B. versicolor is the presence of giant drooping flowers which hang upside down, which is where it gets its common name of Angel's Trumpet. The flowers are the largest of all Brugmansia at 300–510 mm (12–20 in) in length.
Since this still lacks scientific confirmation, rampant speculation continues about potential extra-terrestrial theories for these "trumpet noises." But don't count NASA as a UFO-doubter just yet.
Flowers are strongly fragrant, trumpet-shaped, nodding to sub-horizontal, white to ivory-white or cream. At 12–17 centimetres (4.7–6.7 in) long, the flowers are the shortest of all Brugmansia . Flowers are produced almost continuously in smaller quantities, unlike many other Brugmansia that flower in larger flushes.
