Default Moonflower bush (Datura)


Hi,

I am in the midwest US.

I finally got a moonflower bush (Datura) started in my front yard about
2 months ago. It was a transplant and was in "intensive care" for a week
or so, then started growing like crazy and flowering beautifully.

The basic plant still looks quite healthy, but it stopped flowering
about 5 weeks ago. Other datura's in the 'hood have been flowering
very nicely.

Any ideas as to why my moonflower stopped flowering?

Thanks,
Puddin'
