These too are of that variant. A tiny booger of the dried milky sap is very bitter and will make your tongue numb for quite some time - nature's analgesic. They've grown wild here for 25 years, always visible from the road, never an issue. Guessing the previous owner brought them over from Belgium. Other Europeans in the area claim that the heads were cut in half and placed in cheese cloth for teething children - in the old country. Most of the LEOs here are from the city and couldn't identify jackshit when it comes to agriculture - lucky I guess. Angel's trumpet can easily kill a person, so there's that, and it grows everywhere- quite invasive, yet pretty white flowers that bloom at night.Some farmer nearby had a whole section of opium poppies growing in his field, not sure what he planned on doing with them but the cops harvested the field for him and arrested him.
The neighbour's calf got loose once and someone driving by called the cops. The cop kid that showed up had no clue what to do and wanted to shoot it. SMH.
