Angel's Trumpet Flower

Angel's Trumpet Flower

A friend gave me this plant for my Birthday in June. It has attempted to bloom several times but to no avail. Tonight…The Angel’s trumpet opened and revealed one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. I was delighted when it bloomed such a brilliant purple:)
