This is only slightly relevant....but the game does contain a flower called Angel's Trumpets.

I have two such bushes in my yard.  This one is actually kind of small.



This is what one actually looks like.  The flowers are huge, about 7-8 inches long.  They hang for 3-4 days.  It only blooms at then end of the season, around October (depending on where you live and temperatures).  It grows like a weed, absurdly fast.  In about 3-4 weeks, I will cut it off just above ground, and it will be much bigger next year.  I actually only planted this one in August.  The one in the front yard is much. much bigger, but it has not yet bloomed.  There are over 20 on this one and about 30 waiting to open.

Michael is my nephew, on the left.  Those of you who helped me do the online contest for his school last year...that is him.  Summer, my niece, is on the right.  She is getting adult teeth (as if I need to point that out).

Farm on!

I have read that parts of that plant are poisonous.  Even here in Wisconsin, I see them planted and they grow very large.  A very cool plant.
