Not as pretty on a hot, sunny afternoon.

Is that not a Brugmansia? I used to grow them but they do suffer in the
heat and many of mine were heavily infested with spider mites and got
ratty looking. This year, waves of beetles have been attacking my
Daturas and setting them back quite a bit. They were very happy last
year; this one plant spread out about nine feet. I pull the faded
flowers every evening and sometimes get accosted by hawkmoths trying to
get to my handful of perfumy blooms.

I don't know, Amos. I was given a small plant in the early 1960's. It is
very sturdy, lo these many years later. In truth, I don't know its variant.
It now thrives without being watered, so its tap root must be quite deep.
I've never noticed any insect infestations, but the bumblebees seem to love
them.
