This is a lonely Angel’s Trumpet, genus Brugmansia. This prolific grower was devastated in its first year by a grasshopper attack that lasted all summer. New leaves continue to sprout, and the plague is gone. This shot was taken today, November 18, so the plant is benefiting from LA’s long growing season. Here’s to a better year to come!
Through the giant 10″ blossom, all you can see is the shadow of the new leaves struggling to feed the plant.
