it is very beautiful!! My 12 year old son Tyler has a similar look. he started it about 2 years ago and is now addicted to tropical plants! I LOVE your angel trumpets! Cuttings are easy to grow. He's putting them everywhere for height. Happy Gardening, from Modesto, CA!!

I agree the angel trumpets are beautiful- I have only seen the white species though.

There is a yellow one and a soft pink with a white throat. It is just beautiful and very fragrant! I thought the pink one was dying 2 years ago & wanted to pull it out. Tyler had a stroke!! He nursed it back to health with a little extra water and fertilizer and pruned off the weak trunks. He was right, within a few months it was blooming like mad! They are very resilient! We have found that here in zone 9 they love the am sun & appreciate some afternoon shade. happy gardening, Modesto CA. Want some cuttings?
