Brugmansia or Datura?

Ottawa, ON(Zone 5a)

My seedlings have finally bloomed, despite my pinching them back. Now I'm not sure what they are!

This one (of two) is at the cottage, has many blooms and buds and is about 3' tall from the soil line. The blooms are buff-coloured and vaguely fragrant but not in a pleasant way. The one at home is pictured in the datura forum -- some of you will recognize the setting (and the pot!). It has only one bloom and drops other buds before they even get to 1/2" long. It's awfully crowded with those cannas -- I had no idea they would get so big!

Shucks, I was really hoping for an exotic fragrance to go with the tropical look!

One way to tell the difference even before they flower are the leaves which are different but the flowers Daturas are upward pointing while Brugs always hang downward.

Some brugs buds do point up. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Linda, it is a seedling I grew for Kell last year. I want to see it bloom and rain at the same time. I'm sure rain will ruin it.

Kingston, OK(Zone 7a)

Got seeds for the triple yellow, purple and double white.
