Several years ago while going for a walk along a river in Maryland I came across several wild Datura plants growing from the river bank. I collected a few seed pods and brought them back home and basically forgot about them. I recently stumbled across them and decided to try and germinate the 6+ yr old seeds for fun.
I threw them in a pot containing my bougainvillea and once again forgot about them. When they didn't come up in a few weeks I assumed they were no good. Fast forward about two months later, and several small seedlings popped up overnight. I had completely forgotten about the Datura seeds at this point and couldn't figure out what they were. I noticed one of the seedlings still had the seed coat attached, so I plucked it and examined it more closely. That's when I realized what they were. Since then I have planted them for a bit of fun to see what happens.


you can see they like the MGMC soil much better than the soil/coco mix.

out on the boat today i stopped at a little sand-bar/island and stumbled onto what looks like some type of datura. i was very impressed with such a plant growing in straight beach sand, next to salt water, in the glaring heat. so i dug it up and might do a cross with the other ones i found in maryland.

 you can kinda see it growing out of the sand in the foreground of this pic.

i repotted it. hopefully it will appreciate some real soil and take off

haha no way, i've got too much to lose from going crazy for two days. i have heard of lucid dreaming by taking only a seed or two before sleep, so i might research that a bit and see if it's a legit claim.
