| It can be a very expensive Datura. I got mine in Benton, Missouri. Cost me $4.00 for the plant, and $400.00 for the gasoline! |

| "I'm doing this for a friend who won't listen to me." What were you saying? Now, please give some more info, like *is that thing real*?? Did you take it indoors to photo or does it grow there? And - like Barb - WHERE did Mike get it? It is stunning. |

| It is a neat plant, and real. And yes, it lives outside. Mike brought it in for the picture. Last month I was driving through the "Bootheel" area of Missouri, and along the Interstate noticed a nursery. It looked like Daturas in front of the greenhouses. Engaged my Phoenix driving skills - from the fast lane to the exit at 75mph. And sure enough, there were rows of double purples, and single whites. And a sale going on, buy one for $8.00, get one free! Like any good gardener, thought how many can I stuff in my truck? Shall I throw my luggage out in the parking lot? Couldn't see out the rear window for the next 1500 miles, LOL!

| Thanks for the help this morning PC. You know what? Maybe the next GardenWeb meeting should be an indoor one, where we could all share ideas on how to post to this site. I did not know how to do embedded pix until you showed me. Anyone intereseted in an indoor GW meeting this summer? We can still exchange plants, chat, and learn how to optimize our use of this site. |
