[Dailydrool] TRUMPET VINES

[Esther Strom]

If you're talking about campsis radicans (trumpet vine), it's a member of the nightshade family, and the leaves can produce rashes on contact. It's also a very invasive plant, and many places (like my parents' community in Florida) actively remove it.

If you're talking about Brugmansia suaveolens (angel trumpet), it's very definitely poisonous, and in fact is illegal in some areas.
