And here's how it looked after darkness had settled:

Here is a closeup of the flowers before they open:

And after they've opened; they're about 5-6" across and maybe 8" long:

Here's what greeted me when I opened the front door this morning:

I agree with you about these. Well someday Ill create a blog to compete you! lolz.
My mom has these, too; I think they are also called Jimson weed or angel's trumpets. At least it looks like them and they are really pretty. I am somewhat of a gardener but my mom is a Master Gardener. She has a yard that is huge; it is a lot of work, but I try to help her. Being close to nature has great rewards!
I've grown these in the past, but in vine form rather than bush. They are really pretty, and smell nice, too!
Gorgeous flowers and the large moths land on them and then it is really good photo time.
I believe those flowers to be Sacred Datura aka as Jimson Weed, Loco Weed. They are very poisonous.
