quote.."Daturas rarely reach heights over six feet....."

Started this 'Lilac le Fleur" from seed,stuck it in my garden at about 12'' tall and forgot about it. My hubby is 6 feet tall and this datura is not even standing up straight! I'd guess it to be about 9 feet tall. Actually EVERYTHING in this bed looks like some weird scientific experiment gone awry. The zinnias to the right are supposed to be 18 inches tall. Try about 5 feet. Think were a little too close to the nuclear power plant.......
