Hello all,
I'm very very new to brugs and dats, and I just grew my first Datura wrightii. I purchased this from a local nursery, and the plant tag indicated it came from Viva Plants, a wholesale nursery in Oregon. The cultivar is "High Altitude Form".

Can anyone elucidate the difference between the standard D. wrightii and the high altitude form? Here are links to some pics leaves and of its blooms (it just bloomed the other day, woo hoo!):

How are you supposed to look up how one cultivar differs botanically from another?

Thanks for your help!
