"Reflection of the soul is like looking at a pond. You can only see what is when there is calm." – Andy Fox
Datura (Brugmansia suaveolens) is a large, erect shrub that easily reaches 2 or 3 meters in height.
The trumpet-shaped flowers are simple, fragrant and can be about 30 cm long. They are usually white or yellow in color, but varieties and hybrids of pink and folded flowers also occur.
Its landscape use is widely discussed, since it is a very toxic and narcotic plant, since all parts of the plant contain alkaloids that can cause vomiting, nausea, dryness of the mucous membranes, fever, tachycardia, hallucinations and dilation of the pupils. For this reason many city halls prohibit its use in public ornamentation. However, if used with common sense and out of reach of children, it can become a very attractive plant in the garden.
The species was originally endemic in the humid forests of the coastal region of southeastern Brazil, where it occurred at altitudes below 1000 m along the banks of water courses and in open areas of the forest, but can now be found in residential areas of almost all South America and occasionally Central America, Mexico, California and even some areas of Florida. The species is cultivated in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and traded globally as indoors ornamental plant.

Unfortunately they don't allow the use of a tripod, and I forgot to change the ISO :)
