Angel’s trumpet - Frosty pink

Angel's Trumpets
Angel’s trumpet, also known as trumpet flower or the horn of plenty is a tropical shrub grows flowers up to 10 inches in long and 4” across.  These are the flowers that are mostly white in color, but they are in delightful forms of yellow, blue, red and pink decorating our yards and gardens.
Angel’s trumpet is richly scented, white, lily-like trumpets that hang downs are intoxicate fragrant in evening.  As they grow well on any good moist garden soil in full sun, I have seen them almost in cool climates on hill stations.
Brugmansia 'Frosty Pink
Ange’s Trumpets is a common name for two closely related genera in the Solanaceae family of Brugmansia and Datura; Brugmansia Frosty Pink is the name of this particular color of flowers that I captured in Kodaikanal.
