Datura and Moonflowers are the same thing...they aren't perennials in floral terminology, they reseed themselves. If you want to grow them again, be sure to take a pod and save it for next spring, because depending on the weather, they just either may rot or not germinate come Spring, but if you save a pod for next year, you should have them, no problem.

In Arizona we call it prickly apple because the seed pods are round and have large prickles on them and are the size of small apples.I had more than 50 in bloom 2 nights ago They bloom in the evening and fade in the day.

Looks like morning glory to me. They close at night and open in the morning are invasive hard to get rid of and are related to the night shade family.

I have done a lot of reading on it - the Datura - and I am not one for pulling out a flower if it is still blooming, but as soon as the last one has bloomed, out they all go. Never again. I have come to the conclusion that they scare me. The seeds are hallucinogenic by ingesting them. There are people in this world that get high on these seeds. I don't want any part of it. Mine are by the alley and anyone walking down the alley can pick them, dry the seeds and have themselves a "Datura party." Have you ever noticed that a plant or whatever you have just learned about and are so pleased with, you find other people have them too and then the kick goes out of it. Now I am wondering "Why do these people have so many Daturas in their yard?" And unfortunately, the joy of the plant is gone. I am scared of it. I don't want anyone picking the seeds and have a "Moonflower party" on the seeds that were in our yard. So, for what it is worth, no more Datura/Moonflower/Jimson Weed/Gypsum Weed/Angel Trumpet for me!!!!!!!!!!!! Edie

PS - for what it is worth, every flower that has bloomed for its short time, I cut it off right at the stem - I don't want the seeds for sowing or for hallucinations.

It is a trumpet! And I have a lovely one, peach on the outside, white on the inside. Grow all year around in Florida.

datura/moon flower/jimson weed - it doesn't matter what you call it, all are extremely poisonous both to people & animals

Looks like a "Trumpet Vine"

It looks like a moonflower vine. The flowers open up at night and close when the sun comes up.
