🟥 🪴 Datura Double Purple is a cultivar of Datura metel, commonly known as a double-flowered form such as 'Fastuosa' or similar varieties like 'Blackcurrant Swirl' and 'Purple Queen'. 🔁 ❤️ #DaturaDoublePurple #DevilsTrumpet 🎞 YouTube: @Naitik.nk6ds ▶️ It is an annual or short-lived perennial herbaceous plant in the Solanaceae family, growing as a shrubby, upright, branching specimen typically reaching 3 to 6 feet in height and spreading 3 to 6 feet wide, with glossy purple-black to dark purple stems that are hollow and somewhat woody. ▪️ The leaves are alternate, ovate, broad, deep green to dark green, up to 8 inches long, with wavy or toothed margins, and emit a strong odor when crushed. ▪️ Flowers are large, erect, trumpet-shaped, often double or triple corollas, measuring 6 to 12 inches long, with a deep purple exterior and white to off-white or creamy interior, highly fragrant especially in the evening, opening at night and fading by midday. ▪️ Fruits are rounded capsules covered in conical warts or knobs, irregularly dehiscing at maturity, containing numerous endospermous seeds. 🚨 All parts of the plant contain toxic tropane alkaloids.

🟥 🪴 Datura It is a genus of flowering plants in the Solanaceae family, commonly known as jimsonweed, devil's trumpet, or thorn apple. ❤️ 🔁 #DaturaPlant #DevilsTrumpet 🎞 @Naitik.nk6ds ▶️ These herbaceous annuals or short-lived perennials are known for their striking, trumpet-shaped flowers and spiny seed pods. Habit and Growth: Datura plants are typically erect, bushy, and can grow 1–2 meters tall, depending on the species. They have stout, hollow stems that are often green or purplish and may be slightly hairy. Leaves: The leaves are simple, alternate, and ovate to broadly elliptic, often with irregular, lobed, or wavy margins. They are typically 10–20 cm long, dark green, and may emit a strong, unpleasant odor when crushed. Flowers: The flowers are large, solitary, and trumpet-shaped, measuring 5–20 cm in length, depending on the species. They are usually white, cream, yellow, or pale purple, with a sweet fragrance, especially at night. The corolla is fused with five lobes, and the flowers often face upward or outward. Datura species are typically night-blooming, attracting pollinators like moths. Fruit: The fruit is a distinctive, spiny, or warty capsule, often spherical or oval, that splits open when mature to release numerous seeds. The seeds are flat, kidney-shaped, and dark brown to black. Roots: Datura has a fibrous root system, with some species developing thick taproots. Habitat: Native to warm climates, Datura thrives in disturbed soils, such as roadsides, fields, and waste areas. It prefers well-drained, sandy, or loamy soils and full sun. Toxicity: All parts of Datura plants are highly toxic due to tropane alkaloids (e.g., atropine, scopolamine, hyoscyamine), which can cause severe poisoning if ingested. Notable Species: Common species include Datura stramonium (jimsonweed), Datura metel (Indian thorn apple), and Datura inoxia (pricklyburr). Each varies slightly in flower size, color, and fruit morphology.

Last week when we were queuing for Bananarama in the Silver Room at the V&A I thought I recognised this work of art. The Devil’s Trumpet by Ann Carrington. This bouquet of flowers is completely made out of old pieces of cutlery🍴 #devilstrumpet #anncarrington #silver #cutlery
