Moonflower

Andover, KS

I have what has been told to me, a large moonflower, that just appeared in our garden. But, when I look it up, it states it is a vine, and this is a large plant. Secondly, it has spindly seed pods, which right now are green and soft. The flower looks like all the plants I have found, it is just different in the two ways mentioned. I cannot send a picture, as I unfortunately need one of my grandchildren here to show me how. Thanks

Aloha kgerla2, glad you dropped by!

I believe quite a few plants are known as "moonflower", but I wonder if it could be a Datura? They sure have spiney seed pods...Try a plant search under the Genus "Datura" (sorry I have no idea how to link you to it). There are some great pictures there which may help you id yours.

They bloom in the evening and close up early morning, most are fragrant, and produce spiny seed pods.
