Trumpet UPDATE

 The Double Purple Trumpet has been blooming it's heart out, this is one of 4 current blooms

and now it has 2 seed pods and for once Bobby Appleseed does not want to plant the seeds, we already have 5 plants of this deadly nightshade.

    It's probably a good thing not to have more of these plants in your yard, but the blossoms sure are beautiful.

    Well---Mr. Appleseed is probably correct... You really don't want more of them --even though they are gorgeous...

    Love the blooms... Looks like a bunch of fingers holding something in the cup of their hands!!!!! ha
    Hugs,

    Beautiful but weird blossoms. Doesn't look deadly, though. How looks can deceive!

    Such a shame that it's so deadly because it sure is pretty.

    It is a very beautiful bloom, too bad it's deadly. I really like your first photo, it look like some sort of little bird getting ready to fly.

    picking jaw up off the keyboard. This is so beautiful. If you planted the seed pod in the spring would it have flowers that year or how long does it take?

    Breathtaking!
