Not so much purple anymore (boo), but on the other hand SEEDS! (yay, obvi) #doubleblackcurrentswirl-daturaflower-seedpodid #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo 26 Sep 2020

Decided to snip off two of the three growing seed pods (since the first one is so much further along than the other two) in hopes that I'll get more flowers before the chill comes. 23 Sep 2020 #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura #doubleblackcurrentswirl-daturaflower #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo

Seed pod swelling. Showing signs of not staying completely purple after all (which is completely expected in spite of my irrational hope) 23 Sep 2020 #doubleblackcurrentswirl-daturaflower-seedpodid #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo

Disney should make a princess named Datura Brugmansia and give her big fluffy fairytale skirts.
Love that idea. I always think of clothing for fairies when I see cool flowers
@heatherdirtyhands meeeee tooooo

My #datura #leaf looks like baby swiss cheese -- what is making these holes? Guessing it's a bug of some kind. Any other datura growers experience this? Guess I'll be doing more neem-spraying next season. 10 Sep 2020 #holes #advice-datura #foliage #problem #damage #advice #lookingup

They really are the witchiest, aren’t they? So cool.
@greenroomgarden oh yes, the witchiest -- what a perfect way to put it! I'm gonna steal that immediately.

I was extremely late getting this transplanted from pot to ground, so it's much smaller than the jimsonweed. I know what to do next time though. #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo 15 Aug 2020
Isn't that just the way gardening goes? We live and learn. I had to take a favorite, unhappy hosta out of the ground today. I put it in a very big pot and gave it good soil hoping to revive it. Keeps us occupied 😆

I learned how to harden off #seedlings this spring! These are the first plants I grew from seed that I didn't immediately kill when bringing them outside. #datura #blackcurrantswirl-datura 29 May 2020

Twenty six #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura #seedlings 😱 11 May 2020 #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #datura-seedlings #datura #devilstrumpet
@cyndi yep it is. Not sure of the actual name, but there are three of these funny pots and they stack on top of each other in an alternating pattern so you can plant clumps of herbs and things in the corners. Excess water from the top is supposed to drain into the ones below, but I've so far only planted in this first one.
@Cyndi the pots might be called "Mr. Stacky" but I don't remember for sure because I got them as a gift at least 5 years ago. And mine have 3 corners and the Mr. Stackys have four, but it's similar.

@cyndi you weren't kidding! The first seedling from yesterday is in the top left. All others popped up today. They remind me of ballerinas in all their graceful bends and poses💜😄💜 30 Apr 2020 #datura #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo

The first of @Cyndi 's #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura seeds has peeked out from under its covers! SO EXCITED IT FINALLY HAPPENED 29 Apr 2020 #datura #blackcurrantswirl-datura #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo
17 days for this variety to sprout!
I put an old knee-hi stocking over the seed pod so the birds and squirrels don't get the seeds when this thing ripens #doubleblackcurrentswirl-datura #seedsaving 3 Oct 2020
