You guys have been great so far. I appreciate all the ID's. Here is another flower I have yet to identify. Any thoughts on this one? Taken at the Denver Botanical Gardens. I do not remember if this was a vine or not....

Mmmmm, I definitely see some resemblence there. One thing to note is that this flower was held up...or horizontal (if that makes sense). I tend to think of most trumpet flowers as hanging down.

Shall you chop, Sweetle, or shall I? Darn, I think we'll have to wait, I believe Treeman is right. I've seen upright Angel's Trumpet (Datura) .

Thanks mare460, I really enjoy trying to find a unique view of a flower. I really appreciate this web forum as well, because there are many that I don't know the names of.

On a side note, I like your signature quote. It reminded me of this quote for some reason, "Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time." -Georgia O'Keefe
