For the first time I have made some trades this year, many actually. Recently I tradedfor some Datura and some Brugmansia. I received two trades labeled Angel's Trumpets. I have heard both datura and brugmansia called that so Iam at a lost as to which is which.One packet of seeds are small, circular and black and the others are flat, roundish and tan/brown in color. Can anyone help me I identify these?

Hi indigo, my guess is that both packets of seeds are datura, which can be black, brown, and light brown. The brugmansia seeds are much larger. I'll post a pic on the photo forum for you. The grouping of seeds are datura and the single seed is B. sanguinea. Hope this helps.

You are most welcome Indigo...glad I could be of help. Beautiful and interesting night-blooming flowers are the daturas.

Yeah, it's weird. I have datura seeds that are flat and tan. I also have datura seeds that are massive (much like a Brugs seed). Lastly, my mom has some datura seeds that are small and black (they remind me of Ipomoea seed).

I'm glad to see this thread - it settles a big mystery for me.
