Re: datura-- cuttings?

Donna, put a nylon over the pods and you wont lose any of the seeds....and 
about taking cuttings...some people tell me that you cant take cuttings from 
datura...I have by just snipping and plopping in dirt.....I think though that 
some daturas are a bit more picky about it...I hope you can save your 
plant...datura is one of my favorite plants next to angel trumpets.....judy
