Trumpets welcoming November.......................

I think they are pretty amazing, don't you?

Here it is, already into November when most flowers have 

gone and everything is dropping into shriveled, crispy 

piles around the southeast garden.

Then, after a rainy day, they 'trumpeted' loudly from 

their spot above the low wall where they grew through 

Spring and Summer, blooming some, but obviously waiting 

quietly to display their last hurrah!

Don't forget, beauty often comes with warnings! 

Read more HERE about angel trumpets (Brugmansia). 

All parts of the plant are poisonous, so before 

deciding to grow in your garden, if you have children or 

pets, you need to consider this.

Soon I will be pruning this one back to the ground and 

mulching heavily for Winter. Being semi-tropical it will 

only over-Winter in this area if protected from freezing. 

Late next Spring I hope to see new shoots appear as in many 

past years.
