Brugmansia are closely related to Datura. Both are in the Nightshade family.

Oh, yes. This is definitly Brugmansia that you have on video there, and a beautiful specimen too. It is correct that they are poisonous, but they are used in medicine against motion sickness, asthma and as an antidote against nerve gasses as well. They are good to grow in the garden, where there is no harm in touching, handeling and smellig them :)

A lot of research must have been done to discover those uses for extracts from the plant. I hope there are no long-term health risks from using it - but people who are involved in that sort of research have to sign disclaimers preventing them from making claims, don't they?

I checked with web pages and I think they are brugmansia, also - beautiful but poisonous.
