Man, it seems that this forum has been quiet for a while. For my daturas, I just let them go to seed and they come back. However, I only have those plain white ones, so those breed true. I don't know how yours will do, if they seed true, or if they are even fertile. I do have a brugmansia (which are related plants) in a pot, which I take in during the winter and put it in the sunniest spot possible, plus one of those grow lites as light supplement during the gloomy winter days; plus a humidifier, which is extremely important. With these conditions, mine slows growth down, but doesn't go dormant. Actually, it once bloomed around christmas, but sadly I had to go to my parents and when I got back the blooms were dead (didn't get a chance to enjoy them that much). Yours could probably be taken care of the same way.

You should post your question in the brugmansia forum; they'll give you much better advise than I. I would also like to know what they say, since I'm thinking of buying some of the nicer varieties and put those in pots.

If anyone would like a few seeds of the 'black currant swirl', I think I'm going to have plenty. As you mentioned, Claude, I don't know whether they will come true or not, but it would certainly be interesting to find out. This plant has deep, dark green foliage with a hint of purple, the back of leaf is purple, the stems are purple, and the blooms are white streaked with purple, some more purple than others.
