Last year I've been posting about a certain Datura flower that is also called Devil's Trumpet. I came across this wonderful yet devilish flower accidentally and was charmed by it right away. It was July or August, so there were a lot of flowers but no seeds at that time. In October or November my cousin managed to take a pod full of seeds and dry them for me.
The next year we planted the seeds at the garden and got those wonderful Datura flowers. The year after we got a bunch of flowers without planting any. How is that possible? Well, it looks like the wind took the seeds and spread them all over the property as flowers showed up in places far away from the original place. I can't explain it otherwise.
So when I spotted out the flower for the firs time I had to research it to see what it is as I've never seen anything like it before. During the search I found out that it's called Datura but also Devil's Trumpet and that there's one called Angel's Trumpet and not to be confused the two.
At that point I only knew the Datura, but yesterday I spotted out a flower that is indeed Angel's Trumpet.
It was talker than me, must have been around 2m for sure and only had one flower. It looks like a tree, an old one. The flower usually is closing at nigh and has a very short life, two days max. Today I'm going to go back to the place to see if the flower is still open and see if I can get some seeds, which I highly doubt as it's no seedtime yet. If the seed system of this is similar to Datura, then I have a chance to get some.
It's amazing to see the similarities and differences between the two. I'm going to post about this another time as it takes a bit of time to research it properly, time I don't have right now. Stay tuned for an interesting story.

Hi @erikah.
Nice to see post about plants and nature, those others are searching.
The name is in the danger, Devil's Trumpet is part of the deadly nightshade family.
All toxic, some psycho active.
The Deadly Nightshade Family
" They are also sometimes called moonflowers, jimsonweed, devil's weed, hell's bells, thorn-apple and many more. Datura species are native to dry, temperate, and subtropical regions of the Americas and are distributed mostly in Mexico, which is considered the center of its origin. "
Psycho Active
"anthropologists have found that indigenous groups, with a great deal of experience with and detailed knowledge of Datura, have been known to use Datura spiritually (including the Navajo and especially the Havasupai).[21][22] Again, knowledge of Datura's properties is necessary to facilitate a healthy experience.[7] The Southern Paiute believe Datura can help locate missing objects.[23] In ancient Mexico"

Datura
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 (not to be confused with angel's trumpets, its closely related genus Brugmansia). They are also sometimes called moonflowers, jimsonweed, devil's weed, hell's bells, thorn-apple and many more. Datura species are native to dry, temperate, and subtropical regions of the Americas and are distributed mostly in Mexico, which is considered the center of its origin.
