I've grown this white datura for years, and don't know which variety it is. Have included pic of seedpods.

Bet Tonny will come along and tell you for sure. The datura have sure been pretty this year.

possibly be Datura inoxia ... http://www.erowid.org/plants/show_image.php3?image=datura/datura_inoxia_flower7.jpg


Debby, I need a sideview to be absolutely sure, but from looking at the leaves - even if these are a bit dark - I can omit D. inoxia, so it could either be a D. meteloides or D. wrightii.

I like to grow them my self. This year there is more than 10 different types wrightiis, seven inoxia
varieties, but only two varieties of D. meteloides. Sometimes i the twilight they look like a large dark flowerbed with scattered blazing flowers. I enjoy this sight very much and the scent too. LOL It happen frequently, that I just sit in the middle of these plants and meditate for hours and get lost from the world. LOL Even Lene can`t find me. When I sit the Daturas has grown wide above my head. LOL

Tonny... i know exactly what u mean LOL! D. inoxia's and D. meteloides i grow on the ground are between 3-4 feet high, and expands to nearly 5 feet across. one surely can get 'lost and hidden' between those daturas.. griggles***

I will take a side view and send it in. I started out with this white, didn't know about all the others for several years. In the right weather conditions, they can sure emit their fragrance.
