Rather, just avoid ingesting any part of the plant. That's the safest bet. I mean, unless you <i>want</i> the hallucinogenic and potentially deadly effects.<br /><br />I love the seed pods. The plant is so beautiful, even without flowers!<br /><br />Let me know if you think it smells like delicious peanut butter or icky rancid peanut butter when you brush up against the plant. I think it smells yummy, but other people recoil in disgust.<br /><br />To each his own.Kenneth Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619410362453458358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-31931967969616604492010-01-31T08:48:19.299-05:002010-01-31T08:48:19.299-05:00I think there was actually a problem here a few ye...I think there was actually a problem here a few years ago with elementary school kids eating Datura seeds. It's good to know they can make it, but yeah I figure I'd just grab some seeds. It looks like alba and moonflower are the same thing.Aaerelonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129994850811861751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-83740072463538104502010-01-31T01:58:07.441-05:002010-01-31T01:58:07.441-05:00Datura do alright indoors.

Or, rather, I had one that did alright, if a little spindly, in my window until it got spider mites and I was like "Um, I can grow this just fine next year, I have plenty of seeds from that one pod I saved." (In case you want more, I gots 'em.) (I'm assuming "Datura Alba" is <i>Datura</i> moonflower, like <a href="http://indoorgarden-er.blogspot.com/2009/05/moonflower.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> or <a href="http://indoorgarden-er.blogspot.com/2009/07/moonflower-en-masse.html" rel="nofollow">this</a>?) I'm excited to see how the double ones turn out--they look beautiful in the catalogs! <i>Datura</i> gets ginormous and is halucinogenic/poisonous. Wicked. :-P<br /><br />And... Coconut?

I don't know if they over winter like the brugmansia though. <br /><br />The blog I was the crocus on was: http://gardentherapy.ca/Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.com
