I finally got a moonflower bush (Datura)
Just curious why you call it a Moonflower?
I usually associate that term with Ipomoea alba.
It's common parlance hereabouts. And it fits the Datura
flowering behavior, at least in hot weather (flowers open
at nite, close in morn).
I also have a very nice Ipomoea vine doing quite well in the
back yard.
