The Angel Trumpet Heralds the Onset of Warmer Days
The angel trumpet is one of my favorite garden plants. I have planted an offspring of the one in my mother's yard at all four homes I have lived in. I don't know which I enjoy better, the gorgeous ivory and apricot blooms or the intoxicating fragrance. It is such a striking looking plant with all of those trumpets dangling from the branches. And the fragrance that seems to float through the garden, especially at the close of the day is absolutely wonderful. I thoroughly enjoy this plant!

What a fantastic plant. Wow.
I HAVE QUITE A FEW OF THE ANGEL TRUMPET PLANTS. THEY ARE SO EASY TO GROW...JUST BREAK OFF A PIECE AND PLANT IT IN THE GROUND!
I WONDER IF YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN PURCHASE A THIALAND PARROT FLOWER? IT HAS SEVERAL COLORS ON THE BLOOM AND LOOKS JUST LIKE PARROTS.
THANKS...
jackie,
I found a photo of the Thailand parrot flower and it is gorgeous. I will do some research to see if I can find a source from which to purchase. Will let you know.
