Don't know why all that is said about these plants. I have a couple and have never had an issue handling them. I certainly would not eat them or roll around naked in them but other than that I don't see why handling is considered by some to be a problem.

Well dang... if I can't roll around naked in them, I guess I don't want any! Hmph! ;p

I think maybe there's a bit of danger if handled with bare hands that have cuts or scratches (like mine usually do- thanks, kitties!) but mostly it's just a "better safe than sorry" type thing with the warnings.

Think you may be able to get stoned off of them. Some one pointed out that I'm growing more than one plant that can be used for other purposes. Like morning glories. They are listed as toxic but the toxic part is apparently you can smoke the seeds. I didn't know that about MG's. I'll go look this one up.

Yep that's the toxic part.

Quote is from a web site called Erowidorg.

Oh, lordy. I had no idea. I'd handle it with extreme care... I'm stoopid enough without getting stoned on plants. LOL!

www.erowid.org is a great site for information on all kinds of stuff you'd never think of...

Are these Datura Wrightii?

Teenagers are known to make a tea from the leaves to get high. They often hallucinate and develop a high fever and die. Indians used to smoke the leaves so they could "speak to the gods". Of course, some went on to speak eternally with the gods. ALL parts of the plant are toxic, but I handle it bare-handed all the time with no problem. You just have to remember to wash your hands thoroughly and immediately so you don't accidentally put them in your mouth and ingest the toxins. It's always better to be safe than sorry. (Wish someone had told me to handle hot peppers with gloves that first time. My hands burned for days!)

sbarr:   re: "Are these Datura Wrightii?"

nu-uh . . . bees Datura inoxia

bigger, whiter, and not having overleafing petals on blooms as with wrightii


and now for something completely different . . .

all I know is my chupacabra (chihuahua when she's good) ate my double yellow dat down to the dirt and looked at me like it was my fault when it was gone, she didn't even get an upset tummy

I have thousands of these seeds left . . . checked the garden this morning and saw some new seed pods ripening - so no current prospects for running out of Sacred Datura seeds anytime soon . . . If you are in a Gulf Coast state and your not having floods, this time of year is good for direct sowing daturas for a jump on next Spring . . .

.
plenty of Datura inoxia seeds remaining . . .

here's a photo of a Sacred Datura in my garden from this morning!

are we at the end of the line with this offering? . . . lemme know soon if ya want some!

can I have the kitty? LOL

I don't have anything for trade (nothing I have a name for yet, leftover seeds from the ru). I will have confederate rose (doubles) seeds shortly though. I would love some. All my dats died this last summer. Way too hot them and too hot for me to get out and water like I should have.

Ann - you got DMail

this just in . . . seeds for this species are still available . . .

Hmmm. Still have some, you say? Maybe I should take you up on it- wouldn't want them to go to waste, after all... hehe.

Hey, did the last batch o' seeds I sent you make it there yet? (The Acer Palmatum)

uh-huh . . . and i'm looking around for a great huge old pot for growing a japanese maple that won't break my bank. LOL! thanks to you! ;--)

*grin* Maybe you could build a box from scraps purloined from a lumberyard? They usually have bins of ends and pieces sitting out that people can grab from.

Okay- I've decided I want some of these seeds- I'll try to get my sase out in the next couple of days. :)

I'd love some seeds. I can send a envelope and some english lavender seeds to you.

Lazlo,

Do you have a Sam's club near bye? Just a few weeks ago they had a road show with lots of very nice pottery. I bought 2 very large pots they were $39.00 each . I could not afford this size anywhere else. They will have them again at another location here in Fort Worth on Dec 3rd. I really bought 4 one shaped like a fish, one frog and 2 very large round large mouth pots all for under 100.00 dollars. Just thought I would share. I know who expensive they can be.

Sorry to jump in.
Lori

The frog. I wish I had taken a pic of the large one's My sister- Inlaw wants the fish.

Lori :)
