Saw these today in a neighbor's yard, was told they are trumpet flowers!

Yeah, they are very pretty. That vine will take over the place, though.

Ah, so I'll have to go back and set up to catch some shots of them!

There are several flowers called "trumpet flowers". This is a brugmansia, or "Angel's Trumpet". It grows in a bush or small tree. Pretty, nice scent, and very poisonous...

Thanks for that Steve! I did notice many of the flowers on the ground. Lots of birds and squirrels too, but I guess they don't eat them.

One of our maintenance workers ended up in the hospital after trying to remove a large Trumpet bush. Very toxic to certain people.
