I took these photos last night except the last one that I took this morning when the temperature outside was -1C°. It is getting colder and colder especially in the morning and evening so I’ll have to find some warmer place for this flower until spring next year. Last winter I kept it in the shed. By the way Trumpet flowers contain high levels of poison. I was unpleasantly surprised when I found that information. More about it you can read here.

Prekrasno si ovo fotografirala, kao da je snimano usporeno kamerom.
Bravoo, jako mi se sviđa, uhvatila si trenutak!
Pusa i ugodan vikend ti želim.
I just love what night does to ordinary things, these are fantastic. all those squiggles and twist and turns. the young people here use these flowers for drugs and most of the time they die from them. they are defintely posionous, and i think there are many plants that are beautiful that are deadly if mis used. we have to be careful what we plant because if the dogs eat their leaves it is poison to them. I do so love what you did with these photos
The poison is its protection against harmful insects. The progression of blooming you caught is simply amazing. Great photos and a beautiful flower.
Beautiful pictures!!
Great shots.
Happy Halloween,
Gisela
It makes you wonder how something so beautiful can be so dangerous!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend MedaM!

wow, this is a really beautiful and interesting flower!
Stunning shots Meda! Hugs
First, these are excellent macros and I love the progression in the shots. I had no idea they were poisonous. Thanks for all the information on these.
A great serie.
It seems to see the flower opening.
I love the first picture overall.
I love the way datura blossoms unfurl! You are lucky to have one so you can take the photos whenever you want!
Lots of common plants are poisonous - tomatoes and potato leaves and stems, rhubarb leaves. You just have to do some research before eating stuff that is new.
Very beautiful sequence of pictures for the trumpet flower. The dark background enhances the beauty of the flower.
