Author Garden: A Mystery Name Picture Found Shirley4 Garden Pro! Member # 11309 posted                       I hope I am copying and pasting the correct thing here for you to open and see the picture I was asking about. I really don't know what I am doing. This looks like an awful lot to me!! After I click to add this post I don't know what you'll get of this. * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.

It put the picture there (not very big though) instead of the whole long string of site address (Is that what's called it's URL ? Sorry I'm so incompetent at this, but I'm learning. * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.

Member # 11309 posted                       This does look like a Datura, like the pictures a couple of you posted for me. Thank you very much. * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.

Member # 11309 posted                       Look at the pics they showed me of datura pods under 'A Mystery Name' and see what you think. I think it kind of looks like that, don't you? * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.

It just doesn't seem to have the pronounced "collar" that I'm accustomed to seeing on most Datura pods. * * * * je mange, donc je suis ~~~ rene dessertcart My Albums Plants: 431 | From: coastal n.c. | Registered: Aug 2005  |  Seeded: 65.184.136.142 Shirley4 Garden Pro! Member # 11309 posted                       I also noticed that it did not have that pronounced collar. Your picture of the Manroot looks very much like it. Now that I have a name to type in I am going to check it out on the Web. Thanks * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.

Member # 11309 posted                       Here is what I found: Not sure; I think the picture I have shows the pod a little more oval and pointed, but that is before or after the flower. What do you think? * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.
