When I got up this morning these huge blooms on my Datura were hanging down like they do on a Brugmansia. By lunchtime they had snapped off!
I've put one of the "Expert" books in to show just how large they are.

Another opening as we speak (although that too has toppled over with the wet 'n windy today), and many more to come.

Oh no! What a shame and they are huge. You need a windbreak round them

I think that their size was their downfall! Huge water collection capability, coupled to their sail-like quality in the wind!!
