angel's trumpets

Pendulous toxic flowers

Angel's trumpets are large flowering shrubs native to South America, named for their dramatic trumpet-shaped blooms that hang downward.

The flowers are fragrant and showy, often white, yellow, pink, or orange.

All parts of the plant are highly toxic, containing tropane alkaloids that cause hallucinations, delirium, and potentially death if ingested.

Also called brugmansia.
