Brugmansia aurea (Brugmansia aurea)
Description
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. The name "angel's trumpet" refers to the large, pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers, 14-50 cm (6-20 in) long and 10-35 cm (4-14 in) across at the opening. They come in shades of white, yellow, pink, orange, green, or red. Most have a strong, pleasing fragrance that is most noticeable in the evening. Flowers may be single, double, or more.
