lady,
Out weather is nothing like in your picture! We have had a lot of rain lately, but the temps. have been actually fairly "mild"...like in the high 40's--50's. SO tempting to go outside and do SOMETHING! But--everything is so water-logged!
I want to put down some grass seed. I want to rake leaves and clean up all the beds and the corners and under everything--as all the high winds have blown leaves all over the place. But--it seems to be always raining when I have some time to do that!
Hey! I raked ALL my leaves up--4 different times! Then--every time we had high winds--I got everyone else's--all over my garden......:o(

Lady-g....,
The Yellow Daturas I grew last year were the first time I had them. The Purple/white ones I had had for 2 years before that. I got the seeds (for the Yellow ones) in the mail from someone....EVERY one of them germinated! Check out the "Mid Atlantic Forum" and go to the "Growing from Seed" (or something like that) Post. I just posted pictures there of both of my Daturas. Have posted these many times over--all over the place. I bet you have seen them.

The common, white ones, grow differently. They are, sort of, "wild"....trailing...."all over the place". Self-seed and live through the winter--no sweat!

The Yellow and Purple ones grow as an upright, branching, individual plant. Allow a 3'x3' area for each plant. YES! They will grow THAT big the first year from seed!

PLEASE! If you need more specific information on any of these, D-mail me!
