You’re so right, Marty. I’m a little concerned!

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.

I'm glad you enjoyed these, Mike. It is an interesting plant but not for everyone! The size is a deterrent and all parts of the plant are highly poisonous. It has been used for medicinal purposes and also causes delirium.

it should be said that all species of Datura are poisoness especially the seeds

Most who are on this probably know, but this is a very poisonous plant, all of it, but especially the seeds. It does grow wild on our hillsides.
