Photo Description The flowers give off a delicious scent at dusk and are showstoppers to all who pass by. The hummingbird feasts on the nectar but they are one of the World's Top 10 Deadliest plants. A good hand washing is in order after tending to the plant. They have the ability to grow to 20 feet tall. I put them in a heated greenhouse for Winter and water as needed. One of the most enjoyable flowers I have had the honor of taking care of.
These beauties are called "Angel Trumpet". It is easy to see why the angels chose these. The plants are native to South America. They require full sun and Miracle Grow.

I have this plant also. I handle it with my bare hands on a regular basis and have had no problems. I did know it was poisonous. However, after learning from your post that it is among the top 10 poisonous plants, I would suggest to others that they always wear protective gloves when handling this plant.
