Help finding a plant please?

[Ovie]

I was wondering if anyone has seen one of these plants along the pinhoti trails.  Thanks for any info you have or keep your eye out for me this spring and I would really appreciate it.  They are called Angel's Trumpet.

You can buy them at a lot of greenhouses, if needed.  They're also non-native.

I have some planted but I would like to find a large version in the wild.  Although they are not native there are some around the state.  Just keep your eyes open as you go out there if you don't mind

Additionally, here is a link to more info and there is a link you can click.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that on the Pinhoti, just don't remember where.  Maybe sections 9 and 10.

Let me get this stright, You want us to tell you where there are some pretty flowers in the wild so you can dig them up and take them home.  I do not support destroying the beauty of the woods.  If all of us took "just a little" each time we hiked then the trails would loose their attractiveness.  LNT refers more than just picking up your own trash!

Dude Chill! Nobody ever said anything about digging one up. I said that I have some planted, BUT would like to see a full grown one in the wild! Also I thought the full grown ones would be nice to take a few pictures of for a list of rare plants in our state that I am working on! Oh and by the way I do pick up trash when I go hiking.  I appreciate your defensiveness of the woods but even if someone was planning on "digging one up", I don't think you understand that these things are like trees anyways so that would be impossible.

Ovie,

Mountain Dog responded that way because people actually do exactly that, ask where to find plants and then dig them up and try to sell them. eBay is littered with poached plants every spring. That is why you won't get much location information out of most plant lovers these days. That said, these are non-native and too bulky for most plant poachers.

Since these are non-native, your best bet for finding a full-grown plant to photograph would be to try a gardening forum, maybe somebody will let you visit a mature plant they have grown.

Never seen one in the wild but even if I had, I wouldn't tell someone I didn't know anything about where it was located.  So count me in with Mountain dog and Joshua.

Joshua and Weathermansam gave you good advice.

I guess I don't understand.  I have read these forums as I have hiked many trails and I have always thought everyone seemed friendly.  I guess you missed the fact that it is a tree that you could not dig up...  Also, I thought people in this country were innocent until proven guilty.  It doesn't matter, I guess unless I am in everyone here's click then these forums are pretty much useless to fellow outdoors enthusiasts like myself.  Also, I already have found a few of them and photographed so delete this post please.  Not to mention if I can figure out how I am going to delete my own profile.  I am sure that is what a plant criminal like you accuse me of being would find a small forum and infiltrate it to attain my evil plans muahahahaha, seriously get a life people!
