Saturday Snapshot is hosted over at At Home with Books and is just people sharing a photo they have taken and telling a little about it. I discovered a new flower recently and wanted share it. It is called an Angel Trumpet. I had never seen them before and thought they were just so beautiful. Has anyone else seen this flower before? The way they droop down is just so cool, plus the flower itself it really beautiful. This is all of them together.
This is a closer up of the flower itself.
I got down on the ground to get a picture of what it looks like when you see them all upside down.
And this is a picture of two of them that overlapped. I liked how they looked together.
So what do you think? Anyone else have a snapshot to share?
Gorgeous flowers! I do love the colors and the “drooping.” Thanks for sharing…here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Yeah, I like the color too and I did not know how else to describe the “drooping” lol.
These are lovely! They look like sunshine.
They do don’t they? The color really is brilliant!
Angel trumpets!!
I think I took some photos of these flowers a few weeks ago but didn’t know their name.

Do you think they are the same flowers ?
They do look similar don’t they? Did the ones that you saw hang down like the ones in my pictures? If so then I would say they are the same thing.
what sweet and interesting flowers! They remind me of morning glories.
Yeah, they do kinda look like those don’t they? They are both very pretty flowers.
Those are cool! It would be fun to relax under them (you know, if I wasn’t afraid of bugs dropping on me).
Haha, yeah when I went underneath i had to do it quickly because i was afraid I was going to swallow a bug.
What beautiful flowers. I’ve been taking flower photos as well. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/W9O2Z
Thank you, I thought they were beautiful as well.
Enjoyed looking at the photographs!
Here is my Saturday Snapshot post!
Thank you for stopping by!
Aren’t they beautiful? Do they have any scent? There are so many of them … is it a vine-type plant? Love that your got down on your back to get the shot up into the trumpets! That’s dedication to the photo challenge!
They did smell really good! I just could not resist getting the shot from underneath, but I did have to do it quickly because I was in a nice outfit, lol.
These flowers are so beautiful! Yellow is my favorite color. I’ve never seen Angel Trumpets before. Thanks for your terrific photos!
This was my first time seeing them too. I don’t normally like yellow, but these have a beautiful tint to them.
We used to have this plant and when they flowered it was magnificent. Yes, they are heavily scented and grow into a very large tree. Unfortunately we lost it during one very icy winter. It grew so large we couldn’t put it in and we were too late in covering it up so the snow ended up killing it
Aww that is a shame that you lost them! I was thinking about getting some for my garden someday, I will have to think about it though.
