Kell, they say that 'flowers ALWAYS bloom in Northern California' so it's hard to believe you have a problem growing Datura.Do you not get enough heat to keep 'em happy? They do great in our heat and wind. Last year I had single white Datura growing along the east side of a metal building and they literly took over the bed. Over 5' tall and sometimes over 100 large blooms at a time. This year I had livestock get in and strip the leaves down to the stems around first of July and here within 30 days they are leafed out and blooms about to open up again! Guess they are geared for desertlike conditions.

Temps. around here usually get down into the low 90's, high 80's in September, so maybe the Brugs will try to bloom again. We'll have to wait and see! Thanks for bringing up the possibility!
