Dowdy on Aug 28, 2015Its a Moon Flower, every night they bloom and die in the morning... but each flower will grow a spikey seed pod that you can harvest in fall and plant in spring. I have a lot of them planted around my house and they smell lovely if you get close.Helpful Reply

Duv310660 on Aug 29, 2015There are many datura types; were very popular in Ventura California where the flowers would hang down over subdivision walls. They are sold here in zone 5 as sun room plants. As are Easter lilies and castor bean, both of which are poisonous.Helpful Reply

Linda B on Aug 29, 2015Yep, that's datura (angel trumpet is one of the common names). It's very poisonous. Here's some good information about it: https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/all/datura-stramonium/Helpful Reply

Donna Christensen-Henry on Aug 29, 2015We have this along the roads in AZ. We call it "loco-weed". We avoid it and keep our animals away. Wild Datura can be toxic.Helpful Reply

Dottie Unruh on Aug 29, 2015Moonflowers. I have a few in my back yard in Colorado for my own enjoyment; they are beautiful. They can take over a garden, though, and I understand the seeds are hallucigenic.Helpful Reply

Elaine753 on Aug 31, 2015Moonflowers are vines that open only in the evening to attract moths. They reseed and become invasive. The plant you have is a Datura aka Angel Trumpet. Get rid of it asap...the entire thing is poisonous.Helpful Reply
