You can do some interesting things with those. Caution is advised.

Mandevillea: Uh-oh. Keeping stuff alive is not our.....weel, karma. It's about three feet high now and has about 10 bubs coming on. Very beautiful now. Foliage very glossy green. Pretty pretty. We'd never seen such a plant. I wonder whose butt I had my head up all the time I lived in California. The science on datura is apparently confused a bit. This is the tall. tree-like one, with the pendulous large bells. Really spectacular, rem of squash blossoms. Pink, white, sometimes purple, ornage. Orange. Jimson weed, is, I believe, the Scared Datura. It's low growing, about 18 inches high and up to four feet wide in a circle. There were 6 or 7 in full bloom right outside our motel in Borrego Springs. Very nice too. Flowers are of an unusual luminescence, in the right light. Sort of pearly. I've seen photos of them practically shimmering. This is what gets the cattle on occasion, I think. I've heard it called the Locoweed, but I've also herd that about everything else. And, according to Don Juan the Mixtec or whatever the hell he was, can be used as a psychedelic. Lather might have a link to this, I'm going to go look for the heck of it. There was a time when I might be interested in finding out, first-hand, but I'm too old for trials and errors these days. So, I've seen two obviously related kinds, and know nothing else. But the flowers are cool. A full blooming one of the tree type, say as big as a room, is really an amazing sight. Like done by an artist; say Rousseau on psilocybin. (Seen them particularly in the hills of Santa Barbara. A local nursery must have had a sale on them years ago.)
