The last time I was at the Desert Botanical Garden, I noticed a lot of Jimsonweed blooms in different areas of the garden. I couldn't help photographing a few of them. I got up close and personal with the bloom above and pointed my lens right down into the bell-like flower.
They really are very impressive blooms but beware, it is a very toxic plant. It's one of those plants that are pretty to look at but don't touch and certainly don't ingest.

Funny way to look at a flower!
Beautifully shown here Sharon, it's amazing how many beautiful blooms are poisonous 🌺
Love the close ups
We have them here too but I didn't know they were toxic!
I love jimsonweed, ever since I found that one on our local housing estate a few weeks ago. I'm going to try to grow some in our garden, I think. (We don't have kids, and Olga isn't a plant-eater, aside from grass.) I love that last photo!
I didn't know they were poisonous! Looks a lot like petunias.
Or is that first photo a painting by Georgia O'Keefe?
Wonderful perspective, Sharon.
I like taking an insect's view of flowers. These are nice shots
I especially like that second photo.
Quite pretty, but deadly!
Beautiful but Deadly! Sounds like a Raymond Chandler novel. :^)>
Beautiful photos.
