Flower ID 5

Well, I found one for you all to take some guesses with.

Since it's a photo of a flower bud it's very deceiving. I'd say it's a moonflower bud or a brugsmania bud. They look very similar in bud form.

good one, Heather! I was just thinking that it reminded me of some morning glories I had threatening to strangle my house last year!

After a closer look, it's definitely Datura. Thanks, Jenny :>

Man, you guys are a bunch of smarty pants!!

This all reminds me of this silly ass woman who came in for an interview a couple of years back. She worked in a flower shop in college and wanted a designer position.
She tells me "Just so you know, I know all the names of ALL the flowers" I said "Really? Are ya sure about that? cause I've been in this biz since I was 11 and I don't know them ALL.. That sure is a bold statement! So you really know ALL the names of ALL the flowers????"

I tried to give her a chance to get out of that statement, but she just looks at me like 'Oh shiit' smiled through her teeth, and says "Yep, I know 'em all"

yeah, she didn't get the job.

I haven't known one of those flowers! So good on ya!!

ahw Ricky, Datura is just so gorgeous, never seen it for real
till I lived here (too cold in my previous northern patches) they are everywhere in peoples' gardens here, soooo absolutely beautiful and graceful.
