Hard to beat a Tall Bearded Iris!

Here is 'Ancient Echoes". Smells like root beer!

Wow! Simply stunning colors. I have one that smells like rootbeer, but it isn't nearly as gorgeous as that.

Or until you've seen someone sitting in the front yard with a martini and a pitchfork over a molehole.

Years ago I noticed my right eye had blurry vision. I looked in the mirror and found my right pupil was widely dilated. This can be a sign of a stroke but I felt fine. I thought back to what I had done that day. I had tip pinched a Brugmansia. I washed my hands afterward and later put in my contact lenses. There must have been residual scopolamine on my finger. It dilates eyes, raises heart rate and can make people delirious in a sufficient dose.

Anyone know what's it? Or even better what's does?.... (Not valid to search with Google lens )
Swap some seed Sade?

I have a Datura with plain yellow flowers and one with purple and white. My understanding is that in general Brugmansia flowers face down while Datura face up.
I'd love some seed from your beautiful specimen, please!

Still love those purple and yellow Datura. I looked them up to buy a couple... sadly, they wouldn't survive the winters in my area.

Okay, check it out!


Look what DollyTheHun found in her yard! A lot of folks never get the opportunity to see this. It's a praying mantis egg sack (ootheca)....



And for size comparison...



Isn't it marvelous?!? Here's hoping she can get a picture or two when those little buggers start to hatch.
