FREE: Dutura-Moon Flower

I would LOVE to get these as I have a lot of shade in my backyard and it is hard to get many things to grow there. These would be perfect!

Wow!! ok, great!! I am definitely keeping my eye on this auction. :)

I love your profile pic. My MIL is Mohawk, so we love all things Native. My husband has several Native tattoos, I have a dreamcatcher tattoo with 3 feather - one for each of my kids with their birthstone color as the beads on "their" feather. My mother in law has the Iroquois tattoo on her wrist as well as other tattoos. Anyway, I saw your profile pic and had to comment on it :)

25 seeds in this lot

Quick question - how are these different from regular moonflowers? Because I have the regular moonflowers out the yin-yang and the last thing I need is more of them. They don't have the big seed balls yet, but this is only their first year. I planted them this past spring. I had bought a packet of seeds and planted a lot thinking only a few would come up. 98% of the seeds grew into plants. So I have like 20 moonflower plants that I don't know what to do with... lol Anyway, it took this long for my brain to kick in gear and say "moonflower? you don't need more moonflowers!!" So I thought I would ask what the difference was between yours and mine :)

I dont know the difference in the 2, but my plants had large spiny balls of seeds on them the very first year. These are white, with light streaks of purple going from inside the flower, to down to the tip of the petel. They are very pretty when the full moon shines down on them, along our woods. I am not sure why you would not get the seed pods, as we had some that were dug up with the basement blocks (large sandstone blocks 2' x 4', and the flowers grew in the rock pile also, with pods, their first year. I will have to do some reading on them.

I can just relist these when they run out, if you have too many. As I have a quart glass jar full of seeds.

Ok,,this is not a vine, it is a short plant. Here is what I found.
Large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom March through November. Corollas are up to 6 inches long, have 5 teeth and are often tinged with purple or lavender around the margins. This flower opens after dusk and closes by mid-morning of the following day.

Description
This stout, branched, sprawling perennial has long, gray-green, ovate leaves up to 6 inches long, which are covered by tiny smooth hairs. It may grow up to 2 feet high.

Thorny, globose, walnut-sized fruit (1-1/2 inches in diameter) has many small, slender spines. The fruit hangs down in all species except Jimson Weed.

Mine got throny balls on them, which held all the seeds, the first year they were planted. You may have the Jimson weed.
