Angels Trumpets

Wow , how beautiful , I know nothing about them ,did you grow it from a seed or a plant ?

Wow - you're so much ahead of me!
For the most blooms give it full sun. The blooms will go over quicker though. Keep moist and feed well.
I allow the third or fourth flower to develop a seed pod. This will give you all the seeds that you'll need!

Cheers Meanie and Amy A friend grow it from seed in the greenhouse at work

Ooh Seed pods Mushy , you will be able to try your hand at growing some more !

Palmate:

You would believe it. Datura grows wild here along the freeways and empty fields (it's a weed). I'll have to take some pics.

Delonix - I believe that the common weed in the US is D.stramonium, aka Jimson weed. It's a particularly vigorous species isn't it?
The most common one over here is D.metel or any of its many cultivars. I have this one growing this year, along with D.wrightii.

Meanie:

Here in CA. Datura metel is the one that grows wild. I'm sure there's other species, also.

Datura here is so tenacious. It pops up in the areas along the freeways where there's very little soil...and the soil is hard as a rock.

Hang on have got mixed up here i thought Angel trumpets were Brugmansia like the one you have in your garden ? Is the same or i have i got wrong ?

Mushy - the common name "Angels Trumpet" applies to both the "hangy down" Brugmansia and the "pointy uppy" Daturas. It's confusing.....

Please don't tell i have just got myself some,what i know as bindweed ?

You mean Morning Glory!!!

Never heard of morning glory

Datura is not bind weed, but the commonly grown annual Morning Glory (Ipomea purpurea) is indeed the same family as bindweed!
Isn't the scent heavenly on your Datura by the way!?

Palmate:

This is definitely not Brugmasia...although, they're in the same family.

Sorry to say...you've got yourself a nice weed there. LOL!!! :>)

I know one person's plant is another person's weed.

It's a lovely weed!
One of the things about summer that I love is the scent of the freshly opened blooms on Datura.

I am officialy the worst gardener ...To grow a weed from seed ..LOL

Palmate:

You're definitely not 'officialy the worst gardener!' This plant is grown in many areas as a potted plant. It just happens to be very weedy here in CA...especially this year with all the rain we've had. :>))

I saw a large one growing wild next to a building in full bloom yesterday. I thought of you. I think I may get a photo of it. The ones that grow wild along the freeways tend to die back in mid-summer when the ground is super dry and hard as cement.
