Re: Datura seeds

At one time I had the double purple and white datura's and kept the seeds,
but can't FIND them...they are just beautiful.  Thanks for sharing.  I went
up to the panhandle of Oklahoma this past weekend to my grandfather's farm,
and it's very dry and arid up there (western Oklahoma - Tricia knows what
I'm talking about - think "Dances with Wolves" and you'll know what I
mean...that kind of landscape) and those white daturas do really well up
there.  I saw them everywhere.....just beautiful.  The farmsteads just leave
the plants there, the seed pods fall off and the next year they just start
all over again - and they double in size every year.  The looked liked
HEDGES in some areas.
