Angel's Trumpet & Cactus Fruits

 

I made picture below on neighboring street. I never saw such  flowers before.


Google lens helped me to identify the plant. It happened to be Angel's Trumpet or Brugmansia (that how  genus to which this plant belongs named according to corresponding Wikipedia article). It is native to South America but as you can see it grows in northern California quite well. Still you can seldom see it around. The reason is that this plant is poisonous. One can get poisoned just by simply trimming it. What kind of precaution home owners use not to suffer would be nice to know.   


Fall is in full swing now. Couple of photos below are of cactus bearing fresh fruits.  Looks nice!
