Hi Everyone,
Last year I started raising Brugs and Daturas after a neighbor gave me one and I became addicted.I think they are sooooo beautiful. I started the seeds for the Datura in the house last winter and then put the seedlings out in my new greenhouse the end of Feb. They started flowering and filled the GH with their beautiful scent. My white Metel Mix and Lilac LeFleur formed nice seed pods and I have been collecting seeds from them. The problem is that my Dbl. Purple, Dbl. Golden Queen, Dbl. Blackcurrent Swirl and Ballerin Mix are not forming those nice prickly seed pods.The stem that holds the flower on these is drying up and falling off when the flower dies.They are now all planted outside thanks to my husband (he loves them too) but the same thing is happening. Can you tell me if the Doubles are supposed to have those prickly seed pods too or is it only the singles that form them. I was hoping to have seeds from all of them to trade so any help will be appreciated.
