Palazzo Parisio is located in the heart of Naxxar, just opposite the church. Palazzo Parisio was rebuilt in the 19th century by Marquis Giuseppe Scicluna as his own private residence. The magnificent walled gardens of the Palazzo Parisio rank among the finest in Malta and are the only privately-owned gardens open to the public. They have a classic baroque style that combines symmetry and Mediterranean flowers all year long.

Brugmansia (their common name is angel's trumpets)

Brugmansia (angel's trumpets)

Brugmansia is a genus of seven species of poisonous flowering plants in the family Solanaceae. Their large, fragrant flowers give them their common name of angel's trumpets, a name sometimes used for the closely related genus Datura. Brugmansia are woody trees or shrubs, with pendulous, not erect, flowers, that have no spines on their fruit. Datura species are herbaceous bushes with erect (not pendulous) flowers, and most have spines on their fruit. All parts of Brugmansia are poisonous, with the seeds and leaves being especially dangerous.

In the Ecuadorian cloud forest this shrub/small tree (related to the lovely Brugmansia) rocks its hummingbird magnet blooms YEAR ROUND (even in winter)!
