Description
I took this picture one morning on my daily walk in Volcano. It grows just up the road from my home with the white ginger and Ohi’a lehua trees. It’s beautiful but, be careful “seeing can be deceiving”. There is nothing angelic about it!
The flower that sprouts from the angel's trumpet (of the genus Brugmansia) is a lovely bell shape perfect for a picturesque garden — but the plant has a dark secret. It's poisonous. At best, eating the flower will result in terrifying hallucinations, but at worst, it can leave you dead. According to The Guardian, "the hallucinogenic wild flower known as Angel's Trumpet, which is becoming increasingly common in the UK, has been linked to several deaths in America." We shouldn't have to tell you, but we will anyway: Don't eat these flowers!
