My post today is to contribute to the Amazing Nature contest with a free theme. This contest is hosted by admin @hive127788. I will post about trumpet flowers, because these beautiful flowers are toxic. I have been a trumpet flower poisoner in 2005. At that time I did not know that the trumpet flowers were toxic and could even cause death. At that time I was with college friends visiting the city of Berastagi in Karo District. Berastagi City is a cold-climate tourist area so that it is one of the interest-producing areas in Karo Regency. When we were resting in a cafe, I was very interested in this unique flower (trumpet flower), I began to observe trumpet flowers and hold the flower who was white. A few minutes after I held this trumpet flower, I felt my head dizzy, stomach nausea and felt like vomiting. It was also experienced by my friend who held this flower, some even vision began to run away after touching this trumpet flower.

The part of the plant that contains the greatest amount of poison is the flower. "Beautiful but deadly" is the right word to describe this trumpet flower.This beautiful flower that looks like a trumpet and a ringing bell is a flower that spreads poison when it comes into contact with our skin and can cause hallucinations.
If by chance we are exposed to this trumpet flower poison, the first aid step we can take is to give massage oil, telon or eucalyptus oil to the part of the skin affected by this trumpet flower poison. We also give the sufferer to drink young coconut water, warm milk or black coffee to neutralize the poison of the trumpet flower that is inhaled by the sufferer. Be careful when in contact with this beautiful poisonous flower.
When the sun has not yet shined brightly, the trumpet flowers are still in bud and when the sun goes down in the afternoon, the trumpet flowers also begin to bud. The trumpet flower will start to bloom when the sun shines and be careful of the beauty of the flowers.
