Angel's Trumpet
The mature flowers on this huge tree are a lovely apricot color. Also known as brugmansia, it is in the same family as potato, tomato, eggplant, tobacco, belladonna and datura. Datura is described as a vespertine flowering plant, which is the sole reason I chose this image for today: vespertine is the most beautiful word I have heard in a long time and I couldn't just leave it on the shelf.
