The datura is one of my favorite plants. The huge white flowers open at night and have a wonderful fragrance. The bushes grow very tall, especially in warm climates. I painted this picture for a client who saw datura growing way over her head on a trip to New Orleans.

Beautiful, Kate!!!
There's nothing quite like blue and white -- you've done a great job.
Hi Heronkate,
I have featured you and your artworks at my artistic blog- Literatti. Please come over to my site to see it. Hope you like it. Thanks and God bless.
Hi Mel, Thank you so much for the feature on your blog. I am delighted with it and proud to be on your blog !!
I didn't know it but Datura belongs to the classic "witches' weeds," along with deadly nightshade, henbane, and mandrake. Most parts of the plants contain toxic hallucinogens and that's the nicest point about it.
