Thank you, Sylvia. I like this plant at first but it's size has been overwhelming. I'm sort of counting on winter to solve the problem!

Thank you, Earl! It definitely is unusual! It may be carnivorous! (just kidding)

Recently Cany 143 posted a lovely close up of dried seed pods from local Datura (Moonflower) plants that grow wild in his area. A neighbor gave me a foot tall Datura plant this spring that he grew from seed. I planted and now have an 8' wide monster plant. I have to admit to some envy of Cany's wild version. The single blossoms are much prettier than my double and the seed pods, while very prickly, have more character. I have found the flowers to be very difficult to photograph but I decided to give it another try since it is an annual plant and will probably be gone over the winter. Considering the number of seeds produced, I may be facing an invasion next spring. I recently planted two seeds in a small pot to see if they would sprout. Three separate plants came up.

Thank you, Gregory! It is warmer down there so it makes sense. I don’t think they grow wild here but i’m Not certain.

Thank you, Corky! It’s not my favorite flower but I thought I should give it another shot before winter.

Thank you, Greg! I worked hard to get the best look I could. The flowers are pretty when very fresh but they start to look distressed quickly.
