I believe it's a mutant, but it has the most delightful fragrance. I hadn't noticed it was in bloom until I walked outside and the fragrance engulfed me. I went looking for the source. It was only one small bloom at that time and I couldn't believe it had produced that much scent.
I'm going to post 3 pictures, more can be seen at http://www.puppygal.com/judysgardenparty.html
Enlarge these pictures for a delightfully different Datura

The beautiful bud....
Beautiful! I have one very similar: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/543834/
Don't you just love the underside of these blooms, and mine here was really fragrant too :)
Yours has more purple than mine, which I very much like. Look at this one

I just planted a few of the seeds I got from MaVie, perhaps I will get lucky yet and be able to grow one like this.

I would love seed from the fragrant ones...I have some great datura...but no scented ones....can trade seeds if you need purple swirl or triple yellow.
Jackieshar, that is a pretty one :)
I would love some seeds of fragrant ones if anyone has some to spare. Thanks.
Doris
what seed starting mix does everyone find the most effective for daturas? i'm so jealous of all of your blooms
