Datura arborea (I think).
Sunlight filtering through the leaves.
A giant planter filled with pumpkins and gourds.
Milkweed pods.
A sundial sculpture...designed by artist Mark Mennin.
Ornamental peppers...
...and pinecones.
I took a quick trip to visit one of my daughters this week...
...and we spent a lovely afternoon walking around the arboretum at Penn State University.
It was the perfect day, with sun and cool breezes...
...and many things still in bloom.

I looove those flowers in the second photo. They dont grow well here because of the weather... but I think they are so beautiful. Cool to do in felt...
Mariana--I thought the same thing when I saw those yellow flowers...great felt project!! :)
They smell really good too, but they're toxic!
What a lovely sunlit day!
Heather you were right about it´s name... that toxic one :) They can grow very fast in only one season, will not survive the winters. I had many of them for years until the kids came and I had no space to store them :( Loved the fragrance. The next picture is Cotinus some poepl also do ecoprinting with them, just so you know, I never tried (jet).
