I have just published this request on another NG by error.
I meant it to be this one.
Hi.
Can anyone help.
My beloved dried and sowed some pepper seeds.
Bell pepper I think.
The results are now in the garden but the flowers look
nothing like pepper. The seed pods/fruits have largish hairs, I have not
felt them.
I have put some photos on a temp web site in the hopes that some kind
person can enlighten us. The URL is

Many thanks in advance

They are Poisonous.
Much more interesting than peppers.
Wow! What a surprise. Many thanks to you and Des for the
elightenment.
I have now done a search with the info to find pics etc
Have shown it all to my beloved and she is flabergasted.
Can't understand how the Pepper seeds have turned into Datura
ones:-))
She tells me that she took the seeds out of the pepper,
dried them in the greenhouse the sowed them in pots in the compost that I
had bought from FOCUS. Every pot had a plant and she planted them in the
garden where these the Datura are now growing.
Any theories as to how it has happened?
I can't imagine a bird dropping them all in such a neat pattern and
killing off the Peppers:-))
Regards
Derek
