Ipomoea Alba

#blooms#fragrant

Very pretty! Bet it attracts lots of moths! Are the flowers open in the daytime? How long do they bloom?

They open at dust and usually last 2 days. I sidnt notice if thw moths enjoyed it. @treefrog44

❤❤❤11 blooms tonight ❤❤❤😆

It has started it's seeds!! Will be collecting and sharing!!

Beautiful!

Ok last picture of my fav! But this is to show how crazy they get ,mind you start from seed. I wanted to fill this in . And as you can see it has(more then usual)

@janelleabella beautiful!! How tall is your datura? 👍👍💘😍

Almost 2 feet @ShelleySnyder

@janelleabella how tall will it get? The brugs get to be 5ft. To 8ft.😲

The tallest I had was about waist high so 3-4ft that was the tallest and about 4 ft wide but it was round before. I was gonna thin it out but there are buds everywhere! Lol

@janelleabella oh yea! Let it grow the blooms are so worth it!! Does this come back next summer for you?💘😍

Yes usually, but once after having if for a few years it didn't

❤❤so happy there the 4 blooms at once! O missed as I just got home(3am) pulled up to a heavenly scent☺ sleep well my friends.

Are they Poisonous ?

@mehul22 yes if consumed.

It is also known as Devil's Trumpet. 🎺.And in hindi language we call it "Datura".

Yes your right @mehul22 .

@mehul22 what does datura mean In Hindi?

It means Intoxication , Numbness.

OMG!! I bet that was exciting! I love surprises..hehe!! These r Beautiful ❣😍

Did u know there was a Lavender/White Flower for this too?

@mehul22 Thxs for the info. I've been reading up on this beauty and hadn't run across this info yet. Now I'll add that to my knowledge of it.😁👍

You're Welcome ! @Acetaker

Sorry @mehul22 I had to go to sleep . @Acetaker I knew some and learned more from mehul22. Yes of course you'll get seeds. It's going crazy in my back garden. ❤❤

Love love watching them slowly opening!! I swear they shake as they are❤❤

I can't wait till mine get flowers!💐

I love the way these start to open too! Looking as a 🌟 verses a circle, as on the ones I have. I see where one is moon and other is trumpet..lol!😁😊😂😍 The names this goes by is crazy,which I'm sure u know,but they r: #devilstrumpet #jimsonweed #hellsbells #datura #devilseeed #thornapple (I guess from fragrance) What do u think they smell like? Plz..keep me in mind for seeds. I have a few spots I could place this to enjoy it and frag. while sitting outside...I'm just in Love with it...hehe!😍

(Cont) Janelle 😊I just read that the name thorn apple: is derived from Datura (Dhatura,which in Hindu,means thorn apple) The #sphinx and #hawkmoths visit it as well for pollenating. Sorry I'm sure u had read info on it but found it quite amazing with it being similar to the Tropical Morning Glory. These also go by: #locoweed (I'd say due to the hallucinating traits it has) #moonlily #indianapple and #tolguacha I'll stop going on about this beauty 😍 Hope U Have A Good Day!❣

Love ❤❤ ❤ ❤ all the stages of this flower

I can and know where the seeds are @jennlamaye you'll get some when they start coming 😁

I can't wait to plant mine. I just bought a few packets of seeds from Walmart!

@veepaisal is it the vine? Or bush? ,I've never seen the seeds for the bush before. I have the vine it's growing with my morning Glory but no flowers or buds yet

I think it's the vine type not bush.

Ok @veepaisal then it more along the line of a morning Glory ( best example I can come up with)

Ok but Let the #tropicalmorningglory or called the #moonflower Mine are blooming and Smell So Good! Soon where each flower bloomed the pods will dry and seeds will form. Last yr with our move I lost all my seeds but 1 and was hoping for more so it could fill this out But,not done growing yet..hehe❣

@janelleabella yes it is more like morning glory. @Acetaker I have morning glories in my window box but have not tried moonflower. Sad that it's an annual here and not perennial hehe

Yes,it's a annual here but gives great seed pods for making new ones in spring. @janelleabella it's a tropical and night blooming annual. I feel in Love with it 2 yrs ago. My nieghbor had it and was kind enough to share.

Yes I first got one when I bought my house 14 years ago. My uncle that lived in New Mexico said they are weeds there and grow all over. They can get huge! Like a hydrangea. It's a dantura family. It's one of my top favorite flowers I love them. Has some sentimental thoughts also ❤❤ @Acetaker @veepaisal the two are so opposite one a morning flower one a night flower. I also have the moon flower vine I have it with the morning Glory. It's hast blossomed yet...

Do u have your Moonflower vine with morning glories,in the sun? I have mine in where it can get morning sun(about 3hrs) and the rest is filtered and it loves moist free draining soil. I had it in a pot last yr at the apt and it was out growing it...lol!

@Acetaker both are in full sun. And my moon(bush) can tolerate drought I do let it thrive once on a while.

Getting a little out of control but I love it!! Have some moving on a day off 😍🙌😁😡💪🚜

And here she is no disappointment this season!!🙌👍❤ @travelgirl25

Beautiful!! @janelleabella I'm glad you got to see it!

@travelgirl25 it made my day❤🙌❤

Like this @ShelleySnyder lol

@janelleabella THAT IS INSIDE OF IT!!! 😂😂😂 mine are still hangy so later I'll get one!!👍💘😍

@travelgirl25

Very pretty, nice glow to pic, is that a special effect? Really cool😎!

@jeanbean56 no must of been the sun , camera or ??... Lol my all time favorite flower❤❤😁

Or "Moon" glow?? Very pretty swirl in the middle too!!

It was still light out, an no 🌒 up yet. @jeanbean56

@janelleabella aliens?👽👾

@ShelleySnyder I was hoping more towards 👻 and spirits!! Maybe my father or bf ..

Not sure what kind of Moon flower ?

First boom!! Heavenly scent!❤😁

Buds!!! A day or two❤❤

So @ShelleySnyder what is mine??

@janelleabella I think you have a Datura not a brugmansia, they are pretty much the same except the flower on your's faces up instead of down, they are treated and grown the same💘😍

@ShelleySnyder I'll get it right some day. I like the way those grow

Yeaaa blooms!!!#favorite flower#love the fragrance#love watching itsbloom
