Hey MagpieDi, check out these Daturas! Put mine to shame I have to tell you. This one was growing in a very humid butterfly garden in Britanny.

Also in the butterfly garden there was a bank of different orchids, all shapes and colours. So gorgeous all en-masse like that. Now all I need is another couple of hundred orchid plants to add to my 2, and I might have a collection like this! ;D

and very nice too EJ always nice to see plenty photos .It would be like a book without any pictures otherwise.
Hello, EJ
Gorgeous daturas! I wish we could grow them up here! One of mum's neighbours tried growing them in large pots and they grew to about 6 ft but never flowered. In the end they disposed of them as they were not earning their keep!
