Re: Datura seeds

The best thing about the night blooming white Datura is the moth the plants attract. I just bought an awesome bug book, "Garden Insects of North America," so I could identify even more insects in my gardens.

Rich and Mardi and everyone-I'll have enough for all! I just checked the
plants and there are pods all over the pruple and white. THe solid white
hasn't started to set yet but it will! I wish you all could have seen them
last night. They opened fully after the sun went down and looked fake they
were so perfect.

 Andrea, I'd love a pod of the double purple if I may.

I'm so glad your new yard has such good soil! I've got a lot of work to do on mine. Moving from great black dirt to compacted clay has NOT been much of a thrill. It's been fun going from shade to full sun, though. I just bought 
a few Eupatorium Rugosum "Chocolate" which I think are beautiful.

 Thank you!
 Mardi

 Zem and Jesse-I have the double purple which ALWAYS comes true from
 seed-I'll be glad to send you both a pod as my new yard is a good soil
 paradise and I've never had so many blooms or such big plants. Anyone
 else???? I'll have white ones too.
