Wowwwwwwwww, How'd I miss this one..
Did they ever fully open Maryann!!!!

Would love to know!!!!

I must be stupid this morning because I can't see any buds.

I don't think it's moonvine, looks like morning glory here's mine. The buds remind me of a dairy queen ice cream cone! Smell good, too!

i wanted to let you know those are gorgeous pictures! i am editing your post so that both pictures will show and not run off the page. but, i didn't see the vine in the second picture

Thanks, jiffymouse, looks like I didn' post the correct pic. How do you make them smaller like that? Here's the one I meant to post.

hope that one worked.

I give up.

no, the first one is a moonflower. i tried to grow one once from seed, but it didn't get enough water and died when it was only about 4" tall....

don't give up! i'll fix it for you, that is what i am here for! (if you give up, bill might fire me, or cut my pay, and we can't have that, can we )

Thanks for the encouragement. New day... New attempt..

And such a sweet smell!

is there a difference between moon flower and daturas?

thanks, Linda

gorgeous!!!!!

absolutely gorgeous and a good job posting... but i am resizing for you.

also, linda, i think this is a vine related to the morning glory, rather than a bush like the datura's i've seen. i have heard both plants called moon flowers, that is why we use laten names when we can!

thank you. These are viney, datura bush (jimsonweed?) are more trumpet shaped blooms and then there are datura that are kind of like brugmansia except they are taller than the bush and bloom during the day. Moonflower vine and bush datura bloom at night.

beautiful! I have to start growing moon flowers again!
