WOW! Such a huge flower AND it’s fragrant! 💛 GTers: what do you grow for fragrance in the garden? Thanks @CookieCat for sharing! 💛 #solanum #vine #fragrant #yellowflowers

I didn’t smell it. It is toxic. I don’t want to come close to it 😝

@CookieCat apparently the flowers are strongly perfumed at night. But yes, all parts of the plant are thought to be toxic. Medical advice is: “For all eye exposures rinse the eye with water for 15 minutes and then seek urgent medical assistance. Seek medical assistance for all ingestions.” https://www.poisonsinfo.health.qld.gov.au/plants-and-mushrooms/chalice-vine-solandra-maxima
