Plant of the Day

Tuesday 17 January 2023

The large, fragrant flowers of Brugmansia aurea (golden angel's trumpet) need the shelter of a glasshouse in winter as this evergreen species is endemic to Ecuador where it is sadly considered extinct in the wild. It is a member of the nightshade family so all parts of the plant need to be treated with caution as they are toxic.
