DATURA flowers.

Datura is a genus of nine species of poisonous Vespertine flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. They are commonly known as daturas, but also known as devil's trumpets. Other English common names include moonflower, jimsonweed, devil's weed, hell's bells and thorn-apple

HI Patrick


Brugmansia grow into trees, produce brown wood and are perennial in warmer climates. 99% of their flowers point down and are usually called Angels Trumpet. They produce green bean like seed pods.

Datura are annual bushes (except in climates with no frost) and do not produce brown wood. Their stems and trunks are almost always green. Their flowers point up and are mistakenly called Angels Trumpet but are acutally Devils Trumpet. They produce round, spikey or bumpy seed pods that can literally explode when ripe throwing seeds all over the place if the pod is not well hydrated. Kev you will know for next time hope this helps

I use to get these two plants mixed up all the time
people prune the Brungmansia then it turnes in to a shrub in a small place it looks good
