Meanwhile, over in Germany, Cathy at Words and Herbs is asking folks to brighten up the early December gloom by posting one or two flower photos each day for seven days. I somehow missed day one, but for day two here’s a Datura volunteer that showed up in my herb garden this past summer.
That was a lovely highlight for your herb garden. Nice of it to show up out of nowhere. 😉
I planted one there three years ago; I guess I let a seed head explode…😆😆😆
I never see a datura without thinking of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of her jimson weeds.
Oh my gosh you’re so right!
What a wonderful volunteer! Interesting, because I know you have it cold, but the seeds clearly survive the winters?
They do, and it surprised me as well!
What a beautiful surprise! I love the violet throat and those swirling pinwheel petals.
Me too! Most are apparently just white.
Intriguing for sure…and pretty.
😁
