The showers increased in intensity last week for just one day, so I took a trip back to the rose garden in our local park to see what I could see.

Stopped at the rose garden in the local park this morning after going for a nice bike ride. Some rather lovely blooms. Flower gardens are my happy place!

I am often out in the garden in the morning with my camera to take advantage of the lovely light. This morning a local resident stopped to ask me whether I would take some portrait photos of his children. I told him I don’t shoot people..only flowers! Think I am going to make that into a t-shirt.

Brugmansia, more commonly known as Angel’s Trumpets are well suited to their name and look positively angelic in the early morning light. Do not be deceived by their heavenly name and scent though as they are deadly poisonous so if you eat them you could meet your maker. This large shrub with it’s impressive blooms belongs to the Solanaceae family along with a plant called Deadly Nightshade for good reason, all parts of Brugmansia are poisonous, with the seeds and leaves being especially dangerous.
