Author Garden: Was told it was Moon flower?? Tonya Garden Pro! Member # 9000 posted                       But it isn't. At least from what I can find out... HELP!!! It has deep purple blooms that are about 5 or so inches across when open and "point" up. My neighbor says that they are from the same family as "Angel Trumpets" Here are some pics... The plant Seed pods (these are the size of a ping-pong ball open pod with seeds showing bloom getting ready to open Thanks guys! I want to send some seeds out inthe swap, but need to know what I have first! * * * * Bote and Babe's World Plants: 11806 | From: Holden Beach, NC | Registered: May 2006  |  Seeded: 38.119.116.66 plants 'n pots Garden Pro!

Member # 1672 posted                       OK Alan - I thought brugmansia, because I didn't know that daturas came in purple too. I had had a purple brug. I also thought what you said was correct about the pointing up or down, but since I didn't know daturas can be purple, I changed my mind. Thanks for the clarification! * * * * Lynne's knitting journal "I'm spayed, declawed, and housebound - how's YOUR day going???"

Member # 9000 posted                       It is actually my neighbor acroos the street who has this plant. She did give me some seeds from it. Now that I know what it is for sure- I will send some of the seeds in for the swap! * * * * Bote and Babe's World Plants: 11806 | From: Holden Beach, NC | Registered: May 2006  |  Seeded: 38.119.116.66 TulsaRose Super Gardener Member # 7071 posted                       Tonya, those blooms will be gorgeous...probably white or lilac in the inside of the petals. It could be a Ballerina Purple Datura or Black Currant Swirl Datura. There are more but I can't think of their names right now. There are some good images here at Seedman.com Whatever it turns out to be, grab all the seeds you can. * * * * Rosie z7a Plants: 745 | From: Tulsa OK | Registered: Oct 2005  |  Seeded: 68.14.167.179 melcon6 Garden Pro!

Member # 1672 posted                       ok, ok... I'm wrong! I THOUGHT it was a brug, but then again, I'm working on only 1 hour sleep for the past several days... no make that weeks! My daughter has got to get herself (and me) on a realistic schedule, and soon!!! Aside all that... when I received the seeds in a trade from another website, another lifetime ago... the package did say brugmansia. I should have realized that the few flowers I actually had after 3 years of growing it, were pointed the wrong way. I know now - thanks for all the input. * * * * Lynne's knitting journal "I'm spayed, declawed, and housebound - how's YOUR day going???"
