Angel Trumpets

There are 35 or more yellow Angel Trumpet flowers in bloom on this shrub and the scent is quite heady. This shot is taken in the front of the house at night time with no flash.

The Angel Trumpet Brugmansia is a member of the Nightshade (Solanaceae) family (tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco, eggplant, Datura and petunias) and is also quite toxic.

Peach Trees in Bloom

The peaches are in bloom once again in the backyard in response to the very good rainfall San Diego is receiving this year. Last time, if I remember correctly, the peach tree with the showy, darker bloom had yellow fruit and the tree with the pink flower had dark and sweet fruit. I'm still trying to find the old paper work on this.
