    Many thanks, Joyce. Yes, I believe they’re called Angle’s Trumpet down here – highly poisous, I’m told! I’m amazed that such a beautiful flower produces such an incredible seedpod. Thanks again, Jan.

  • Joyce Dickens,... replied 25 days ago

    Jan, you are quite welcome; they are indeed highly poisous….but our animals sense that and stay away…..no children here…..I enjoy them immensely….JD
