I was given some green pods of moonflower last night from a friend (been promised for 3 yrs... finally!). Anyway - I am drying them out on an outside windowsill... as the seeds (yes I cut one open) seem a little green to me.

So will this be ok... should I plant them this coming fall ( I live along north Lake ontario (port hope)) in about a 5 zone... or should I save some for next spring?

My friend lives in a similar enviroment... it seems both seeds & roots give her new plants.

Anyway - I was hoping, also - someone could email me a pic of the foilage... abintra@symaptico.ca so I will recognize it next year... I have a bad habit of weeding new seeds!!!

Also I am looking for chinese lantern plants... and silver dollars...

these are a large prickly pod - sort of mini versions of invasion of the body snachers... larger than a horse chesnut.

I think they are the datura bush variety.

Has anyone read Jean Auel's Clan of the cave bear & etc?

Is this the same datura plant?
