The color did indeed change, but still really pretty, and nice that you can see it from your living room! I remember this song very well, and even have some words memorized!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I remember that song...my junior year in high school. The statement on the video would make a good trivia question...his only number 1 song.
ReplyDeleteWow how cool that they changed colour Are they dangerous then?
ReplyDeleteLake of direct sunlight did make a difference. But they are still very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI do remember that song. I also remember Sheb Wooley from Rawhide.
It is interesting to see how the colour changed.I think this flower is so pretty,too bad it is also deadly.
ReplyDeleteI think I have said before that the Purple trumpet is a noxious weed here. Don't let it escape. I remember the song well. Used to sing it in the car when the kids were little.
ReplyDeleteAwesome blended colors, I have always loved this plant and especially the yellow flower. What a beauty.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have these beautiful blooms in front of your window. Boy do I remember that crazy song!
ReplyDeletelove it ...great post...
ReplyDeleteYou are my Hero !!
ReplyDeleteBut excuse me,that plant is going to eat you and Bobby Appleseed. Then it will take over the world.
I'm glad it's where it cannot harm your dogs, Sandra! Good move. It sure is a gorgeous plant, though!
ReplyDeletevery cool trumpets. i'm dating someone very into flowers and gardening and so i'm learning about different kinds of flowers, like trumpets. i get quizzed occasionally:)
ReplyDeletehere from deb's place.
It's amazing to see the change in color of these blossoms. It's still pretty, however.
ReplyDeleteI remember Purple People Eater very well.
You might not be a cook but you are an excellent photographer. I'm wondering if your husband does the cooking and, if not, what do you eat?????
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Come to think of it, my mother and grandmother had no cookbooks that I can remember. They had a recipe box with cards of recipes and clippings from magazines. My mother was an excellent cook and my grandmother an excellent baker. I am a better cook than a baker. My husband has become an outstanding baker and I'm sure it's his scientific mind and pharmaceutical preciseness. Whatever, it works.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
I had to see which plant you had. This datura is lovely, I like the double blossom.I had a figurine to go with the song, but it didn't look like the one in the video.LOL
ReplyDeleteI remember that song well ... those deadly flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMore great flowers. Oh, yes I do remember the flying purple people eater, but was he a people eater that was purple or did he only eat purple people??? Since the original recording was in B&W I guess we'll never know for sure.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty... Can you say that the purple trumpet is eating up your house/window????? ha ha
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Purple People Eater was a HIT back in my day. I remember going around singing it, and often times I still sing it. I think your post goes perfectly with the trumpet. AND I bet your view is a beauty out that front window.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I do remember that song - I am going to share that with Andy!
ReplyDeleteI saw white colored ones, do dogs have to ingest them to be poisoned?
