Angels Trumpet (brugmansia)
Oh, the slinky and glamorous Angels Trumpet (brugmansia) flowers at the Volunteer Park Conservatory in Seattle are so exciting. You must go and see them before they are done. This pink one, viewed from below, was all lit up in the amazing sunshine we have been having here in Seattle. You can see the blue sky through the Conservatory’s glass walls. It’s been about ten weeks of pure, brilliant happiness and while it can’t last much longer, we surely are enjoying the heck out of it. And let’s call this one my Best Post of the Week.
Visit Mellow Yellow Monday, Macro Monday, Today’s Flowers, Floral Friday, Flower Art Friday, Weekend Flowers, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Pink Saturday, A Piece of Heaven, and Skywatch Friday.

fantastic light, how it catches the petals and shows the texture.

They are such big beautiful flowers! Love the sun behind it.
Gorgeous! I haven’t seen an Angel Trumpet in a very long time, and I remember the first sighting was at Mount Vernon, George Washington’s home. It’s not very far from here. They were yellow and I was enthralled with them. I love the pink color of this one, great photo!!! Thanks again Sara 🙂
