Angel's Trumpets



Brugmansia is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae, native to subtropical regions of South America, along the Andes from Colombia to northern Chile, and also in southeastern Brazil. They are known as Angel's Trumpets, sharing that name with the closely related genus Datura. The genus differs from Datura in being perennial and woody (Datura species are herbaceous), and in having pendulous (not erect) flowers.


Brugmansia are large shrubs or small trees, reaching heights of 3–11 m, with tan, slightly rough bark. The leaves are alternate, generally large, 10–30 cm long and 4–18 cm broad, with an entire or coarsely toothed margin, and are covered with fine hairs.


The name Angel's Trumpet refers to the large, very dramatic, pendulous trumpet-shaped flowers, 14–50 cm to 20 inches long and 10–35 cm across at the wide end. They are white, yellow, pink, orange or red, and have a delicate, attractive scent with light, lemony overtones, most noticeable in early evening.

Hi Sergio,
I love this shot. The colors and details in the leaves are wonderful. Very nice framing work. Just a great picture.
Regards,
Kevin

Oh wow Sergio, the colors of this are beautiful! The blue sky and bit of green leaves really offset the yellow flowers perfectly. I also love the light coming through the flowers.
I've never seen a Brugmansia in this color before. Of course they are not native to Canada, so any that are grown here would be cultivated. Very nice.

Hi Sérgio,
Superb!
The light, passing throught the petals, gives gorgeous colors and brightness! I like your composition with two diagonal plans, one with vibrant warm colors, the other in soft blue tones.
The presentation is so effective! Bravo! Annie

Ola Sergio !

Simple composition are often the best ! Lovely colors and graphism. Excellent backdrop to reveal your national colors once again . Neat framing work too to emphasize the beauty of the photo.
Well done !

Hi
Lovely, charming photo. Very small part of photo is sharp, only one part of Brugmanasia's patals but on this photo it is no so important, the biggest strenghts are coloures and light. Very nice framing.

Hello Sergio,
I do have this plant in my garden, and I must say it's difficult to take care of it because I have to bring it in during winter. Gorgeous colors, superb details and shape. A terrific posting. Best regards, Danilo

Good Morning Dear Sergio

Olá Sérgio,

Magnífica apresentação, maravilhosas cores, excelente moldura!
Parabéns, sempre!

hi Sergio

I like the softness in this level angle shot. I see you have used only 28-80mm lens for this macro, but you have done a good job with tripod to give such color and sharpness, shooting under natural light.

tfs, bill

Hi my friend,

Olá Sergio,

This plant has indeed huge, but very elegant flowers. Here in our country farmers often have them in their yard. They make quite an impact.

Hello Sergio
Love the contrasting colors in the nice warm summer photograph! Very sharp and detailed

Uma das coisas que mais admiro na sua arte é o seu descompromisso com o "real", mas compromisso com a beleza criada.
Essa corneta de anjo é prova disso.
