Has anyone seen this one? It has upward facing flowers of...sky blue?! BTW, is it fair to say that Datura have upward facing blooms, Brugmansia have hanging flowers? John

I believe one needs to order a full flat of 72 plants (tissue cultures?) plus shipping, as this is wholesale only.

Datura inoxa 'Missouri Marble'
Pardancandá, I have never seen Datura inoxa 'Missouri Marble', but it could be fun though :) The most blue (margin) I have grown is here:
Yes, now I have seen it *lol* Guess I didn`t notice the link to begin with :)
This is a got-to-have to breed for variegated leaf in the inoxia/meteloides/wrightii-complex.
The other day I was also into contact with a Frenchman, who have a variegated D. stramonium and since it crosses readily to sect. stramonium + leichhardtii and pruinosa of sect. Dutra such variegated varieties would not be far off either.

Guess you can say so, but fair? I don`t know. I have seen D. metel varieties with pending flowers, esp. older specimens. Also B. arborea flowers that rised over the horisontal line. I guess it is a little of an oversimplification to say so in pure seriousity, but as a simplification I think it could be fair :)
