DeBushe,
What with Brugmansia being grown in many parks and public gardens. Your alert should be taken seriously. An excerpt from Wikipedia notes:
"All parts of Brugmansia are poisonous, with the seeds and leaves being especially dangerous. Brugmansia are rich in Scopolamine (hyoscine), hyoscyamine, and several other tropane alkaloids. Effects of ingestion can include paralysis of smooth muscles, confusion, tachycardia, dry mouth, diarrhea, migraine headaches, visual and auditory hallucinations, mydriasis, rapid onset cycloplegia, and death."
I hope everyone realizes that all parts of all species of Brugmansia are poisonous. Touching the plant and putting your fingers in your mouth may cause hallucinations.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
:-)
