Interesting colour of this plant. Not usual for Datura and the fragrant flower is up-facing not nodding, .
The flowers are followed by highly ornamental, green prickly fruits,
(Poisonous )

Wonderful colour. It's interesting how many poisonous flowers/berries are purple.

Love the rich exotic purple..and the shape too! It’s striking, almost like a glass blown vase!

That looks so lovely and I agree with Kate.

Lovely to see a purple one Klahanie. When we lived down the road I grew them and we had cream ones and yellow ones. I placed them inside the large greenhouse we had for the winter and used to take cuttings as well. The sap is an irritant so I wore gloves when handling them. The moths loved them and the perfume was overwhelming. You can see them on my little picture image.
