These beautiful Angel's Trumpet flowers are huge, and are attractive when just beginning to open from bud as well as when fully opened. Photographed this one in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on 16 April 2013. "The name "angel's trumpet" refers to the large, pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers, 14–50 cm (6–20 in) long and 10–35 cm (4–14 in) across at the opening. They come in shades of white, yellow, pink, orange, green, or red. Most have a strong, pleasing fragrance that is most noticeable in the evening. Flowers may be single, double, or more .... All parts of Brugmansia are poisonous, with the seeds and leaves being especially dangerous." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugmansia It has just started SNOWING heavily this afternoon!! Flickr is so slow (for me) today - takes forever to open any page or any photo, mine or yours. Time to take a break.

Photographed in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on 14 October 2011. I'm not sure what plant this beautiful, unfurling flower belongs to, but it sure was pretty.

A bright Tulip that was growing at the Reader Rock Garden on 19th May. I don't usually see Tulips when they are just beginning to unfurl their petals. Just needed a splash of bright colour to add amongst so many "green" photos I've been posting recently.
