Anyone have an idea what this plant is? For want of a better name, I will call it a Trumpet Flower.
It is growing outside our department's window.
I see it from my boss' office and one day last week, I took a walk over to it.
I have never seen anything quite like it. A plant filled with trumpet flowers of some sort.
There are two plants and one seems to be a different color from the other.
One a yellow color and the other carrying a pink shade in the trumpet flower.
Pretty and interesting. That's LA.
Updated to add that after a bit more research, I found out that the name of the plant is Angel's Trumpet. You can read about them here...Angel's Trumpet.
There IS a plant called trumpet vine, because of the form of the flowers; whether this is it, I'm not sure. I quickly checked a plant-finder website I like, https://www.plantinfo.umn.edu/, but nothing that came up on "trumpet vine" search looked like your stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly pretty!
I GOT it Piglet!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAngel's Trumpet is the plant. Who knew? I certainly didn't. :-)
Off to update the blog post a little. Darn, it would have been so much better if I knew before I posted this. lol
Angel's trumpet -- how cool is that!!!
ReplyDeleteI just poked around a bit more, and found that we do have that plant here (Brugmansia), but it grows as a bush, not a vine that needs support. It's a bush I've seen a lot of on boulevards the last couple years, didn't know what it was, but it must be unbelievably hardy -- on the boulevard, it's exposed to sand and salt during the winter when the plows come through. Very cool. The things you learn from your blogging friends... :-)
