Maybe you don’t get this association. For me it is the first one coming to my mind. The flowers look magnificent, but don’t you think they look like Alien - creature from the movie with Sigourney Weaver movie?
Yesterday during the conversation about the movie “District 9” I made a joke “I think aliens are already living among us” - yesterday everyone laughed, but today while looking at these pictures of spectacular brugmansia Angels Fantasy, somebody said “yes, aliens are already living among us – just look at this! Look at the beauty and diversity around…”
So I am not the only one to connect it with that movie.
I bumped at it in botanic garden in Wroclaw 2 days ago, when I have visited charming team of gardening magazine “My Beautiful Garden” as a result of being a finalist of blog competition. Soon I will show you more pictures from truly beautiful botanic garden in Wroclaw.
PS. Flowers of brugmansia Angels Fantasy look magnificent, but I didn’t get too much scent.

This is sooooo on my 'have to get' list!
Yea.. they look a little bit like aliens. Good and beautiful aliens definitely! ~bangchik
You know these are growing at Our Little Acre and are one of my favorites! Yours is beautiful! Mine all have a wonderful scent, but it is most pronounced in the evening. Not much during the day, but when the day ends....ooooh....sooo wonderful. I say it smells like lemon soap. Is yours more fragrant in the evening?
Kylee,
The white one was spotted at botanical garden and I didn't get any smell of it.
I have yellow flowered one and yes - it is much more fragrant in the evening. Perfect patio plant for adding wonderful scent.
I call these flowers 'trumpet' Ewa. I don't think it is a correct term but that is how I have always known them. Now I will think of 'alien' when I see them :) Have a wonderful weekend, xv.
