Datura Painting

I’ve looked at your blog, Paul. It’s very interesting and informative too!this is a beautiful painting, like the others. This is definitely a dark and exotic looking flower.

Karen really is a gifted artist as well as the others in the blog. Thanks for looking at it. Amazing with certain people can do with a brush & canvas. Artists are fascinating people. They view the world differently than the rest.

Absolutely brilliant painting … thanks for sharing Karen’s work Paul 🙂.

I agree Sheila. I love visiting the NY Botanical Garden. Always something fun and interesting happening over there.

Klahanie I read that this is a no fuss plant and very easy to grow. They are normally grown as an annual, but they self seed quite readily in the fall. Let the seeds winter over outside in the planting bed. They grow like gangbusters in the early spring and will quickly grow to a mature plant and flower for you in one season. East Hampton isn't far from me so I may give them a try if I can source the seeds. I'll get you some too.

Thanks for the warning. Half the plants in my garden are poisonous and I already lost 1 cat because he ate the English Yew. It doesn't kill immediately but over the next few days. That makes it extremely difficult to trace. I don't know why cats go around snacking on random plants.
