Noticed about 7-10 days later, every one of the stalks had already produced big ol seed pods and figuring what the heck, maybe it would bloom again, I removed about 95% of those seed pods. Now, the plant is about to burst forth with another huge bloom set. For those familiar with daturas, did removing the seed pods cause the formation of new flower buds or is this something that occurs on a regular basis but just never happened my own plant which is actually several years old... Nice plant and seems easy to care for since it's basically a cultivated weed to start with. Just curious... Two pics are from the inside of the fence and one pic of the escapee branches that grew through the fence. Thanks for any comments. Steve |
