The angel's trumpet plant; a tropical woody shrub with large fragrant trumpet-shaped flowers, scientifically named Brugmansia.
From Spanish floripondio, possibly a corruption of Latin flos (flower) combined with Spanish pondo or pondera. The term is used particularly in Spanish-speaking regions of the Americas.
Despite its heavenly name and gorgeous appearance, the floripondio is dangerously hallucinogenic and has caused numerous poisonings—gardeners should admire it from a distance!
