I live in northeast Ohio and had one come up in my flower garden. I have no idea how. I was going to pull it out when I was weeding but it looked like such a healthy plant I left it to see what it was. It is about 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Nobody I asked had ever seen it before. Thanks to the internet I was able to identify it.

Yes it is a dangerous herb to play around with… (Heya Tamari… I had a young and dumb experience with this one too- we didn’t do that one together did we? We had some fun and crazy times… hee hee!)

This is a lovely capture … I’ve not seen this plant in bloom first-hand. Love the kitty relaxing in the previous post and the MARVELOUS monochrome image of TODAY ;–)
Thanks for visiting Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings,

Beautiful!
Datura is my favorite desert flower. Please be careful with it.It can have a nasty side affect…
I had an experience (when I was young and dumb) with some juice made from the seeds that took away my vision for 2 days. I was soooo relieved on the third day when I could finally see, that I shall never forget the experience.
Bright Blessings
