Lol but that is cool though dats are beautiful too..:) I cant wait to see pics.....

I buy many plants on Ebay but am leery about buying seeds. You never know for sure what you will get unless you know the seller. I think many people think brug and dats are the same thing. I hope at least you get a double flower dat!
Years ago I bought *rare* poppy seeds on Ebay and paid quite a bit for them. Well they were just the ordinary ones that come in generic seed packets. By the time you know you have been duped it is too late to leave bad feedback.
I guess live and learn is what they say????
Sorry you had a bad experience!

ahh bri so sorry. But there is good news...at least you know your dats!! lol

Would be worse if you posted a picture of your beautiful brug and WE have to let you know that you got a Dat.

Joyce I read a few postings from folks that had ordered this and that brug PLANT and when it bloomed, it was not what they had wanted to buy.

I guess there are crooks out there and we just have to cross the fingers and hope we do not end up with one.

I have bought seeds off of ebay and have them be duds with nothing coming up. After I confronted the seller, of course it is my fault and I planted them wrong. I have been gardening for close to 50 years, so I think I know what I am doing. I even have had 5 YO seeds germinate. Now I only buy seeds locally or trade on GW.

You can not usually be 'sure' you will get a double flowering Brug even from double parents. You can be more than likely to if the genetics are correct and from a long line of flowering doubles but just because mom is a double doesn't mean that all little 'juniors' will be double too when you do in fact talk about Brugmansia seeds and not Datura seeds.

At least both are pretty. I don't think the seller was trying to scam anyone. Some people still interchange the names. I say they weren't being intentionally dishonest because brug and dat seeds look nothing alike.

I feel the same way the seller is not trying to mislead you, after all you can always post who you bought it from and what it was,and the sellers knows this so you see some people just make mistakes or mixup the seeds by accident. Lets give the sellers the benefit of the doubt.

Not looking to out anybody, ; ) I probably only spent like $1 on them and at least they're flowering! Maybe it will be a start to a great love affair with dats. And over a year ago I was so naive/new that I didn't even know the difference in the seeds.
I just thought that it was hilarious b/c I was so excited to get a double white bud and then I thought about how it was pointing up.

You'll like the datura, especially if it's a double variety. I've had double purple blooms that are as big as brug flowers. What's nice with dats is that they can be grown as annuals in my zone. Brugs from seed don't bloom for me until the second season.

Bri my single white dats were the first ones to grow back from last years plant and just look how they are blooming from last years
