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.
