This was said to be Angels Trumpet

Does anyone have any idea what this is?

Here's an additional image-

And one last close up of the leaves-

Thanks for any help anyone is in a position to provide.

My guess would be Tecoma stans -Yellow Bells, maybe even Yellow Trumpet Vine (Campsis radicans) but most likely Tecoma because of the seed pods. For sure not an Angel's Trumpet, but gorgeous! Susanne

What do ya think?

Wow, good work Ladies! I don't know squat about Brugmansia and the gal at the store kept telling me it really was a Brug but everything seemed wrong about it being a Brug but then you never know these days so I figured I'd post it over by the BrugMasters.

Hah, where do they find these wanabe plant pros?

By the way Sidney and art_n_garden, that Tecoma wasn't close... it is Tecoma. Look at the leaves and the seed pods in the photos submitted to that plant file. I can't grow Tecoma here in my home. The cats would make short work of it in no time. No way no how. I'm giving the plant to my Mother In Law later on today. I was planning on giving it to her anyway if it was a Brug (highly poisonous I believe) because she loves the color yellow and finds it cheerful. I just wanted to be able to tell her what it was so she could figure out how to take care of it.

Now about those wannabe plant pros, I asked the gal to look at the leaves and I asked her to look at the plant as a whole and she still claimed it was Angels Trumpet. Why, because her paperwork said so. I have no doubt I've got a few plants around here that are mislabeled because they were sold to me as something they aren't. It happens. I sort of have a silly story. I sent a carnivorous plant out to a member of one of my plant geek chapters. I sent her a new plant at the same time I sent somebody else a freebie new plant. I try to give carnivorous plants away to help people start up if I have spares. Well, they were both so proud they took photos of their new plants and one of them added a caption of the binomial that I had provided on a personalized plant stake for her pot. What can I say other than Sarracenia purpurea looks very different than Drosera binata. When this individual was questioned about the binomial, she got a little snippy and posted this to the person who dared question her plant stake, "I think the woman who gave it to me should know what she gave me. After all, she grows hundreds and she made a special plant tag for me for the plant and I think I can read what she wrote on the tag". I about passed out. The blood drained from me when I looked at the S. purpurea with a D. binata extrema stake in the pot for all to see. I had to go in and post that I had screwed up major league which prompted several e-mails with people who know me poking sport and making comments such as, "Way to go Lauren", "Nice ID, better stick to daisies... those plants with the white petals and yellow centers", and this classic response to my screw up "Must have been a blonde moment". Now when you start getting into cultivars, hybrids, sub species, and variations it can get a little hairy but if you have any idea what a purpurea looks like or have any idea what a binata looks like, you can understand why I wanted to crawl under my computer desk and hide. I sent them each new plant tags with apologies. The guy thought it was funny but I never heard back from the gal who was sent the purp labeled as a binata. Oh well, some people don't have a sense of humor.

Equilibrium--I bought a pitcher plant at Home Depot once but it died. Maybe I over watered it?? Anyway that was my first and only attempt at carnivourous plants. Though I have recently heard of one for ponds--that eats mosquitos!! Bladderwort and have decided to try to lay hands on some. But next time you are in a sharing mood I might be interested in attempting again with the carnivourous plants??! hehehe Bonnie

"I bought a pitcher plant at Home Depot once but it died. Maybe I over watered it??" Pitcher plants pretty much like constantly moist medium while they are in their groing season. Sounds to me as if you purchased a plant that was already stressed from being packed in a box, then transferred to some distribution center where it sat in darkness for a week or so, then shipped to a store where it may or may not have been acclimated to sun and where it may or may not have been watered properly. I doubt seriously if you had anything to do with the plant biting the dust. Now, the type of water you used could have done it in. Pitcher plants evolved in nutrient deficient environments. They have adaptive traits that enable them to survive in these harsh environments and therefore fertilizers kill them. Watering them with anything other than distilled water, reverse osmosis water, or collected rain water is generally the kiss of death to them over time. Far too many total dissolved solids in most water for them to make it.

Hmmm, aquatic Utricularia is what you would be looking for. I currently have U. gibba here. I had a very unfortunate situation occur this spring while I was at work. All of my aquatic Utrics were in opaque containers waiting to stabilize to be transferred to ponds and water features. I had just topped off the containers the night before. While at work, we were hit with almost 4" of rain. That flooded out all of my containers and washed the plants up and out and right off the end of the patio into the grass line. I had no idea we had that much rain so I picked up kids from school like I always do and took them to activities and brought the kids home only to learn I had been wiped out during the day. I was out there in my bathrobe with a flashlight and tweezers frantically trying to find plant parts for hours on end. All I was able to reclaim was the U. gibba. I was not a happy camper. People offered to replace what I had lost but generally a start of an aquatic Utric is not much more than an inch long and then the recipient takes it from there. Needless to say, I passed on replacing all of my aquatics this year until at such time as I could figure out how best to protect them from flooding out. Currently the U. gibba I have is in a small artificial pond that has some string algae in it which is not good but I had no other choice at the time. I do share though, if I've got something to share. Would you like some U. gibba? There is another CP out there that is carnivorous but you'd need to be very careful with it. It's the water wheel plant or rather Aldrovanda vesiculosa. I don't fuss with that one as I am too far north.
