Brugmansia

My neighbours put this houseplant out in their front yard before going away for a few days.

It is called a brugmansia, and gets to be about 5 feet tall.

The only other one I have seen was yellow, but I think I like this colour better.

This is certainly an unusual flower...

Old Man's Whiskers

One of my houseplants bloomed. The only name I have for it is old man's whiskers. If you look at the leaves, you can see why.

The flowers are about half an inch across, and only last a couple of days.
