Brugmansia sp.

This plant was a gift from my dentist. It was a small plant and has now grown rather big now.

It has its 1st flower .. a huge one at that! ( almost 25cm as a bud)

The entire plant is poisonous but the flowers are supposed to be extremely fragrant. I doubt if they can be kept where small kids are. It has atropine and other derivatives which can prove to be deadly even though it is used for medicinal purposes in humans in smaller doses (Anton's field ).

I will post another photo when it is fully open.
