- About
I had no idea that Datura came in anything but white. I kept looking and looking, wondering if I was really seeing this, and I finally decided that I am. How unusual.
Is it? And, you mean 100% white? The flowers on this are perfectly white except for the gorgeous eggplant purple innards. The shadows on the first photo, taken in the early morning, cast some colour I think.
I collected a seed pod from a datura I passed on a walk two summers ago – unknown variety. Started a bunch last year (so easy!) and grew a few in a pot – very disappointed. But I also for some reason discarded a bunch of seeds in my strawberry/herb bed and one survived the winter to germinate this year.
Yes, the ones I’ve seen are completely white, although I’ve seen them only as natives and not in gardens.
So beautiful – great clicks, Chris!
Thank you!
