My personal opinion is that the photo looks fake. Like PhotoShop fake. There's no "blue" datura that I know of. Whenever it comes to eBay, buyer beware.

There are a few Daturas that will have a blue tint to them, quercifolia, wrightii, inoxia and Missouri Marble so your guess are as good as ours until they bloom?

Greenkid

I have to agree with Karma! There are a few varieties that have a blue tint to them. And then you have some that are magnificent! Check out some of Jack's 'Datura!' He's got some beauties!

Greenkid, the one in the photograph appears to be a D. wrightii as I had to check some of our photos this am.

I am not saying that Karma and Mike are wrong about some dats having a blue tint, I have never seen one bloom in person yet and these two definately know what they are talking about. But I have to say that this particular photo looks to me like it has been tinted blue on a photo editing program. Either way I think any dat bloom, regarless of color will be nice, I would just check the web or maybe even karmas site and you might find a truer picture.

Shawn I agree with you. Especially since there is no foilage showing either. Let me go see if I find THAT DAt I had growing in white last season.

pagrdnr, check the link below and towards the bottom you
will see where we talked about the blueing color. The photo that was posted shows an all over blueing and that would be due to how it was shot. Again folks will say anything to sell and the blueing could be debated. But our site will show you the blueing as we shot raw, no touch ups on that page photos.

Now THAT Karma is a blue tint and not like the one up there.

Hi Everyone!
Thanks so much for all your replies and I'm sorry for the delay in reply but my sis just gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy so I have been at the Hospital all day!!

I must say that I have to agree about the photo I posted of the flower being enhanced, I didn't think it looked natural, but wasn't sure, I suppose I will only know the answer when they bloom! I didn't actually get the seeds from ebay, a friend of mine brought them back from France for me as she knows I love my Daturas...
Thanks for the id Karma! I have so many things to research atm you saved me the job...:)
I will of course post pics when I have some blooms...I hope they do have a blue hue to them as they are going in my blue bed this year...

roflmao...was my FIRST thought about the BLUE DAT going really well with the baby BOY . Sorry of course I am going to say congrats and nothing is more important then welcoming a new life into this world.

Are they both doing ok? You are so lucky you got to be there!

You know maybe your luck is with you and it IS a naturally blue tinted DAt :-)

Lucy

Congrats on being a new uncle. Aren't babies great. Hope the dat turns out to be blue tinted for you.

Thanks guys! It was amazing as I have never actually seen a baby being born! He was 8lb 5 oz, so the air was sure blue at the Hospital, even if my Datura aren't!!

Roflmao, thats too funny. I think they should make teens witness live birth with no anesthesia as a form of birth control.

Lol Kristy! Congrats on being a new uncle...Yea a new baby..That is kool..Barb

roflmao too. Kristy YES! and have them stand at the bottom to see the baby come OUT! ha ha ha ha makes all the difference. At least now I know why I have hemorroids roflmao way to much ha ha ha

Like I mentioned before. Watching my grandson born was the 2nd most beautiful miracle I was able to be part of. God granted me 3 beautiful babies of my own too.

greenkid maybe you are able to share a picture? We LOVE baby photos so much.

Lucy
