from what I've received, most of them are metals. I don't have seeds for any other type unless I forgot somehow. I guess we will find out this summer.

If you are really into dtas and brugs, I would say this book would be good for you:

It is very informative and has detailed info on all of the dats listed above. And the pictures, wow! I'm a newbie and find this book to be very informative, maybe even for the novice.

D. Tatula
D. Meteloides

no need to be confuse, always remember datura metel or datura meteloides seed can and will produce single, double, triple or even quadruple blooms. i do not understand it either, i have observed them thru the years of growing them in my garden. 6 yrs ago, i was given seeds of datura metel... no color was specified, no flower description. i just notice the purple ones [black currant swirl or cornocopea] produced double, triple and quadruple blooms... same as the yellow [golden queen], and the white [dat. alba].

do not allow datura metel to confuse u cuz i think this datura specie is confuse on its own LOL!

hopefully Tonny will come by and explain it in more details, since he spends more time learning about datura and brugs.
