I thought this was a Brug.. I received seeds in a trade and the pack was labled Brugmansia.. I had never grown them so I thought I would give it a try...after they started growing I was pretty sure it was Datura.. Oh well it is still a beauty...

Congrats and I hear the disappointment. But don't ya just love the black purple stalks? I don't know you wanted to try a brugmansia.

WOW! It's really gorgeous!

I always thought that Datura flowers faced upwards.. and the Brug flowers faced downwards. ????

Am I out to lunch on this??

Teresa; these are D. metel var fastuosa and if the bloom if it gets heavy or with age or pollinated will tend to bend downward. To early to be out to lunch on this point.
