Gary,
difficult to say from the photo (verrry nice!), but from your
description I would say it was an Angels Trumpet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugmansia
One of the few plants that is packed full of poisons in all of its parts.
Datura is closely related and appears often in the books by Carlos
Castenada.

Cheers

I found this flower at Mission San Luis Obispo. You can't tell from
this close-up, but the blossom is shaped like a long, slender trumpet,
up to 12 inches in length. In bloom, many of these trumpets hang from
the bush... Stilll don't know the name of the plant...
