Angel’s Trumpet
Angel's Trumpet is a rare and visually striking plant, known for its pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers with yellow stems. Found primarily in temperate forests and hilly regions, this plant thrives in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil and moderate sunlight. While its beauty is undeniable, the plant's potent scent can cause confusion and temporary paralysis when inhaled directly, making it both a captivating and dangerous presence. This characteristic has historically been exploited in the creation of poisons and to subdue targets, though it also holds a place in traditional medicine. Standing between 6 and 15 feet tall, Angel's Trumpet is a perennial plant that can live for many years, adding a touch of elegance to any garden while demanding respect and caution due to its powerful effects.
