I had some old seeds of these that I had gotten in a trade & decided this year to try them. I got two plants that I started in May and I finally got them to flower. The flowers don't have a sweet fragrance, but they stink, as do the leaves when you handle them. They only open at night & close the next day. I have seed pods going now, so I will have fresh seed this year. They are full of buds. I have the plants in a large planter so I can take better care of them. I am really enjoying these plants and I would love to grow more Daturas next year so maybe we can trade seeds when mine are ready. Let me know & thanks. Buttoneer
