This night photo of one of my Sacred Datura is my Summer Stock Sunday submission.
 
sacred datura jimson weed

Although it does bloom during the day, the flowers seem happiest to me at night. Tomorrow morning this bloom will lie yellowish and wilted. It will bloom all Summer and grow to perhaps three feet high and as much as twice that in girth. Before it dies back it will produce round, stickery seed pods.

This plant grows wild all over North America. People call it Jimson Weed and Loco Weed for it’s hallucinogenic properties. Many native cultures use it to have dreams and visions and it’s said to allow astral travel. It’s in the Nightshade family, so it is not a plant to be used lightly or without a full understanding of doses and preparation.

Peace, out!
