Moon Flower
by: maryb

In our area, we call it a moon flower. I loved mine close to the patio because at dusk it attracts humming bird moths. The drawback was that it is an aggressive reproducer. Three years ago I moved several plants away from the patio because I had millions of new plants. I am still pulling up new starts from my cobblestones.
Its a Datura...

I had these growing in a planter last year and had no idea if it was one I planted, i didn't. I found them at the edge of our yard. They are gorgeous. Of the nightshade family. It is consider poisonous. Beautiful plant but don't eat...Now there are different types of them as to which one it is, I'm not sure.

Thank you so much for this sight! My husband just called me to the back of our property and there it was growing in our burn pile. Beautiful white with purple flowers. So strange and interesting!
Datura
by: Nori Lane Bishop

I think you have some kind of Datura, which is the same genus as Jimson weed and the Angel's Trumpets that people grow in pots and overwinter if they live here in the North. I'd venture a guess that this is the wild one, since it showed up from nowhere. Jimson weed is an annual, a naturalized weed in North America, originally from the tropics, and its juice is toxic. My old Wyman's Gardening Encyclopedia says if you crush leaves, roots, or seeds of this plant, it is "ill-smelling." That's Datura stramonium. (The Angel's Trumpet is Datura arborea, from Peru.)

This looks very like a Datura lily
