Stolen from a Spanish garden.

Post by Gruntfuttock »

Last September we went for a walk through a Spanish village. I noticed a datura meteloides bush in a garden covered in seed pods so I reached over and liberated one.

As there were no flowers I could not tell what I would get from the seeds, but today I found out. The first flower opened and it is a single purple flower. This is the first time I've seen a single purple, it is a bit weather beaten.

Whilst on the same walk I found some datura stramomium growing wild, I also liberated some seeds from these and they have been flowering all summer.
