Default What's this plant???

You didn't check out the photo very carefully, did you Sedentary?

It most definitely is a Datura and not at all a vine.

This had white trumpet shaped flowers on it, which were about 6" long,

in
September. Does anyone know what it is?


From the shape of the leaves, it appears to more likely be a moonflower

vine
(Ipomoea alba), than datura. Moonflower is a fragrant cousin of morning

glory,
but it has huge fragrant, white blooms. Take a look at this webpage and

see if
it looks like your flowers (you can't see it very well, but they are

trumpet
shaped and at least 6").
