wow, that is stunning. Donna

Very nice I love that Datura, mine did not
do well so far this year the heat has been
bad, but yours is beautiful! :)

Just look at you!!!Here is your first double Datura bloom!! Just watch out with your racing heart there, girl lol

It opened up just PERFECT!!

What I watched on my purple and yellow dats so far is, that they put out ONE bloom first...then after that...WUSH!!!! So be patient. I am sure it will put out many more after that.

I really have never pinched the tips of Dats. So no idea. I just trim the white ones back by branches a LOT. Since they too are in the FRONT of the flowerbed and just grow so huge that they hide and kill everything around and behind them. Or take all the sun way. NO I did not plant them there on purpose. they reseeded them selves from last year and I let them grow...thinking it might have been the double yellow lol. then my heart could not rip them out anymore when I found out they are only the single whites lol

Looks great. I really need to pay more attention to dats next year.

Amazing!love the swirl effect between the purle and white together.

Lovvvee it Joyce...Very pretty..;)

Thank you all for your nice thoughts!
Lucy, I know all about trimming the branches back on the white ones. My whole yard would be taken over if I didn't trim them! They are so easy to grow for such a pretty flower! I was so excited about this bloom I didn't even think to smell it!!! LOL!!!
Thanks again for enjoying this with me!
Joyce

Beautiful dat, am sure it smells heavenly!
