Would any of you happen to know whether the flower motif on the Corinthian
capital from the tholos of Thymele in the sanctuary of Asklepios at
Epidavros in Greece was the datura.

After all, several sanctuaries of Asklepios in ancient times offered a
facility for sleep, (eg Sikyon, Epidavros) in which dreaming up ones own
cure was highly encouraged.

Maybe we should cross the Datura with Lycopersicon & send it to the
Catskills
with Archie so he can sleep for 20 years.
