the volunteer purple datura in the front garden has grown huge over the summer…

when I was out watering the other day I noticed that many of the seed pods had already popped open so I went out and collected some for next year…

this one is a shade of mauve and opens upwards rather than hanging down…

the flowers are also quite small…

the seeds have already started to pop out into the bowl and I will let them dry a bit more before putting them into an empty pill bottle to store for the future… and I will be sure to label them;-)…

in a pot in the garden there is another white datura… this flower is much bigger and also opens up rather than down…

I will save some of those as well, being careful of the prickly bits, lol…
