on the vine? had them wrapped in nylons, and looks like they are starting to sprout. the other two are from another white datura. I didn't have them wrapped. Should I open them now? they did bloom later.
Datura seeds, Did I leave them too long
Liz: the seeds look fine, finish drying them out. The seedpods you picked will problably not open on their own, so you might go ahead and open them and try to get the seeds out. The seeds will be very wet, let them dry well. I use a crochet hook or a nut picker to get the seeds out of datura.
Debby's right. Your seeds are fine. It is normal to have that little white thingy on the seeds. Tonny may know what it is called.LOL
Oh great,Thanks a lot.
And by the way, nice looking "devils claws" ya got there. (Bet RR sent you the seeds for them, eh?)
No shoe not from me, still on pod not ready yet still waiting for turn brown pod. =/
Whoops, my mistake...I meant the OTHER "RR"...Roadrunner (she sent me some seeds).
I'll remember there are two RR's in the future, k?
Hope yours are doing well tho, Redrose. Glad you didn't lose them in the storm. Hope you are doing well also!
That is ok no problem shoe =) you can put me large captiol RR and roadrunner put small captiol rr how about sound shoe?
Well I am doing okay but not as great yet, Most of my plants I has loss and few ok. I am glad not all of destroy my plants.

yes,darling cousin Jo,(roadrunner) sent me the seeds. the other devils claw still have the green covering on them.
REDROSE, glad to see you back on DG.
WBG, I was afraid the little white things was going to be bad news. glad to hear they are fine.
That sounds like a good idea Redrose (RR). Works fine for me! Thanks.
By the way, when you get straightened out you realize most of DG will help you get plants going again. Just say the word!
LizH...glad you posted this...reminds me to go along the road and see about some wild Datura seeds...and your Devil's Claw looks a bit larger than the one I saw at shoes. Jo
They grow wild in AZ? What color have you seen?
"looks larger than the one I saw at shoe's"....nyahh nyahh nyahhh...♫♫♫
Sheesh....the ones you saw were the result of a drought you good-lookin' hambone! I declare, I declare, I declare!...
However, you just wait! One day I'm gonna grow em so big they'll snag a dumptruck off the roadway! And flip it over so it begs for mercy! You'll see! You'll see!
Shoe, the ones growing on my yard reaches to 5' tall. spreads betw. 4-5 wide for the Black Currant Swirl. the low growing ones is the white flowers with lilac tint along the edges, grows to 3' tall and spreads to 5' wide. all prolific bloomers.
The size of your low-growing ones sound like our wild ones here MaVie, (size-wise), but ours have the lavender/purple flower...(Datura stramonium?). Haven't see a Black Current swirl. Will go check out that database.
look no further Shoe, here's the url ... http://davesgarden.com/t/308330/ this one probably is what u call the purple datura.
That is beautiful, but I thought you were talking about Devils Claw. It has purple blooms.
Hmmm...lizh, yo're right. I need to go see if mine have gotten any size since rr was here. Also better collect some seeds from them if I'm gonna grow some giant ones next year.
We've had so much rain maybe it'll kick em in high gear now.
i've search high and low, this is the only one i find that mention devil's claw ... http://plantsdatabase.com/go/333/ i don't think it is a datura
Thanks MaVieRose, I knew the devil's claw wasn't a Datura but we kept going back & forth, and guess my brain got stuck in park.
Jo, do you have Datura that grow in the wild in AZ ??
