Oh wonderful! So you all agree that in a few years my entire yard will
be filled with trumpet vines and sweet autumn.... not good!
Tomorrow I will destroy the seed pods from the trumpet vines... thanks
for the sharing of your knowledge!
On another note, my variegated datura ( Missouri marble)has set seeds.
Interesting that the seed pods have the same creamish white streaks to
them. I was expecting them to be like a native datura... as in the pods
turn brown before opening up... Nope.... still in the greenish/ striped
mode when the first two opens and started spilling out the seeds...
Horrors! How do I know when they are ready to grab off the vine.. they
are not hardy here, so I would like to try the seeds next year and see
if the variegation holds, or just what type it will become.... thinking
of getting my old nylons out and attempting to catch the seeds....Dh is
totally against that since they can be seen from the road..... thoughts
anyone?
Donna
