Brugmansia suaveolens, or Angel's Trumpet, is a tropical shrub known for its large, fragrant, trumpet-shaped white flowers that open in the evening. It is native to Brazil. The plant is highly poisonous due to alkaloids like scopolamine and atropine, and all parts of the plant are toxic!

I have dozens of drunk bees on my passion vines. Yes, bees, particularly bumblebees and carpenter bees, can become "drunk" from amount of ethanol from natural fermentation process, affects the bees' nervous systems and causes them to become disoriented, immobile, or even fall asleep on the flowers.

Copperhead bites not as deadly to dogs as humans & dog can survive with new bite. Massive increase in copperheads (clinic gets 4-5/day), due to increase in toads as food source. Can be in anyone’s backyards not just woods. $500 Don’t panic and try to stay calm as it will help your dog.
