I'll just treat it with respect, and not lick my fingers after handling it. The local snails seem quite happy to eat it, and a caterpillar is making its cocoon inside a leaf that it has rolled up!!! Well, I am still alive, and my Datura is marvellous. Very fragrant. Thanks everyone. I'm pretty sure when I was a kid living in Malaya, that Datura was used as a kind of hemp or cannabis drug by the natives. Memory may be wrong though. Datura stramonium is sometimes used as a recreational drug. This doesn't alter the fact that it is one of the most toxic plants around. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
