Yay .. My first Dats

These were a mixed packet from mainfrog. I think he said they were assorted color Ballerina Datura. I've had a couple of these blooms already.
Now to find the names .

Just found this one this morning. Whoo-Hooo , so pretty.

edit to add , it is not yellowish like the photo but a pure white.

Caught this side shot of the last Dat as I was leaving the garden. Is this why they are called Ballerina?
Reminds me of a tu-tu .

Hah !

We have a bug around here with a full tummy ,I think
;~P

Beautiful. I'm partial to purple. :-)))

Very nice Scoot!

Oh scooter, they are beautiful, I love that ballerina..

Now I know who I am going to trade with. They are beautiful and love them all.

Just lovely -will put you on my trade list!!!!

Nice pictures. I'm almost daturaless this year. The two or three I have aren't growing well and I've given up on them. There is always next year.

Very pretty, Scooterbug.

Thanks y'all . Think I'll make room for more next year.

My garden smells like never before , with all the soft sweet smelling brugs and dats , the strong fragrance of the Clary Sage I got from MaVie and the strange odor from the Devil's Claw. Interesting ..............

I LOVE IT !

My Devil's Claw seeds didn't germinate this year so if you have extra seeds this year, could I trade you out of a few. please.

Okay, I'll bite....what is a Devil's Claw? Something I should be growing? LOL!

Shirley, it had a weird looking seed pod.

Thanks Ada. Gosh, that seed pod looks dangerous. LOL!

I used to pick them up as a kid in the desert around El Paso and just now know what they are. LOL

Now back to Dats .........

I don't think these are the ' Ballerina ' strain. they are over 4 ft. tall ...... prob closer to 5 ft.

Oh, Scoot. That yellow and purple looks beautiful together.

Really very pretty.
