I have no clue what it is, but I saw a light fixture at Lowe's this past weekend with globes just like this! I told my hubby it reminded me of a flower, but I didn't know the name of it.

It's not an Angel Trumet-- look at leaves real closely.. It's some type of Himalayian Lily I believe.

The stamina projecting out of the flower suggest a lily species as Cynthia suggests, it is not Datura or Brugmansia but perhaps Lilium formosanum "Ivory Trumpet".

It is a lily. Did you know that both lilies and brugmansia are toxic? Datura (or brugmansia) are close cousins of the jimson weed family, also known as loco weed. They are especially toxic hallucinogens that can kill fools experimenting with them.

I have four of them, propagated from one my mother-in-law gave me. Had never seen one before I saw hers. She calls it "Gabriel's Trumpet". They can be different colors. Mine are yellow and absolutely gorgeous when blooming. With good trimming they can grow to be 6-8 ft tall.

Yes a type of Lily and it is beautiful. True that "moon glows" only bloom at night but they are usually all white and point upwards

I am pretty sure this is not a trumpet vine, they do not have pistols and stamen like that. And they have huge soft oblong leaves, I have two and they are tree like, not shrublike. This is some sort of lily and it sounds like Sandra Parrill has nailed it.

That is definitely a type of lily, not a brugmansia, and the leaves on the right are probably from Schima superba, which is a tree.

Angels Trumpet. They are gorgeous and can form a small tree...or a big bush....if you leave them alone. You can cut them but the will NEVER stand up so you have to use them where you can let them droop as nature intended.

This looks like an Angel Trumpet ,I have 2 they are different colors but same shape, everyone needs to know that while these are lovely plants they are also toxic so be very careful smelling of them you could wind up on the ground from the toxins in the blooms.

Luis from CT is correct, these are Trumpet lily Regale. Do I need to add photos of Angel Trumpet/Brugmansia to show the difference? Schima superba might be the foliage on the right. The flowers are Regal Lilies.
Jean Campbell

I agree with @Jean Campbell. It is NOT an Angels Trumpet/ Brugmansia. It is a Trumpet Lily Regale. Notice the lily pollen in the photo from @Carol Speake.

I always called it angel trumpet It comes in a few colors white, yellow, lavender. I have seen these as bushes and made into trees. However If Kati is correct it must be in the same family?

It is easy to mis-identify a plant at a glance in a single photo. What you don't see in Carole's original picture is that the Lilies are blooming on a single stalk 4-5 feet tall with slender leaves. Different families, Some flowers just happen to have a trumpet shape similar to some others.

This is neither Brugmansia nor Datura, both of which are known as Angel's Trumpet. Yes the edges are split and curled, but both Brugmansia and Datura have wispy pieces that come off each curl. This LILY does not.

i agree its not an angel trumpet. my angel trumpet is pure white and doesn't have the long stamens in the middle, also stand up straighter and only bloom a day or two and then done. plants produce many flowers and easily reseed themselves, even here in cold zone two in north canada

Datura or Angle Trumpet. Be carful, its poison but can be grown safely, just don't eat or smoke.
Terra Gazelle

The trumpet shaped flowers are Lilium "Black Diamond". They are a hybrid of an Asiatic Lily. The Tag you read on the display at the Garden was for the Evergreen Flowering Tree "Schima Superba". Apparently the tree was not in bloom when you visited and the lily must have been underneath the leaves of the tree. Easy mistake when the Gardens do not tag the undergrowth plants on a display. Happens all the time.

Brugsmansia is a huge family of trumpet flowers. Easy to grow and start from cuttings. Survive to zone 7 with no trouble.

this is an Angel Trumpet "Brugmansia" they are lovely but very toxic .They are not perennials in zone 7. I had 2 of them they were beautiful but did not come back this past spring.

I googled 'angel trumpet', 'Brugmansia' and searched loads of pictures. Not one of the trumpet shapes had such long stamens. I couldn't find a single picture where they showed. We also need to see a better picture of the leaves, since those in the front of the photo look like our wild cherry leaves, and might be another plant, growing close.

That is a particularly lovely Brugsmansia. I have several perennials in zone 7 and they are very tough and rugged. They prosper in semi shade, sandy loam soil and low water. They have no bug problems, require no fertilizer. I'd recommend them to anybody in zone 7/8. About now you can buy cuttings off the web. I place them in my greenhouse for the winter, and then they are ready to plant in spring.

Yes, in complete agreement!! To illustrate just how hardy & care free they Really are here are mine,... and I do Nothing special. Zone 6b, just leaves or hay for winter coverage.

In the lilies the petals are separate but overlap at the base of the flower and the leaves are long and narrow and relatively stiff and usually a clear green. In Brugmansia flowers the petals are connected so that there are not separate individual petals but the entire flower is a trumpet shape (kind of like morning glory to compare a more common flower) and the leaves are rounder and softer. Brugmansia also almost always "hangs" as seen in photo posted by Suzette T above.

OK everyone now I am completely confused as to what is growing in my yard? No Stamens...threw me a huge curve, I went out back and took those pictures as soon as I read this post. Then I put the phoots on here to show what mine look like. Can anyone tell me now what I've got growing. My lilies 9 to 12/15 feet high Honest to goodness, they all have stamens, and only bloom once a year. My Angle trumpets ( what I thought they were) blooms last much longer. And are multi stemmed. So Now thinking ...WHAT?
Suzette Trimmer

The label is for the tree next to it not the flower. The flower is a Trumpet Lily. They can grow up to 6 ft tall.
