Datura

2005-05-28 | plant
A Datura;(Chyo-u-se-n a-sa-ga-o) bloomed last night for the first time in this season.

Though the flower is very beautiful, it has a deadly poison and is famous for Seishu Hanaoka using this plant as narcotics in late Edo period.
He used it when he operated on surgery of the breast cancer.

It blooms only at night throughout summer season.

I once had a plant called kidachi chosen asagao. It's English name is Angel's Trumpet. A romantic name, isn't it? and I was enchanted. So I bought it. It had many trumpet-like flowers. It was a big tree as tall as two meters. But it was a strange tree. Half tree, half grass. Most part of its branches withered down during the winter. It dwindled down year by year, and died after all after a few years. Maybe I should have kept it in warmer condition.

I've never seen this flower in the flesh. It must be a gorgeous flower.

Though I have a quite big space for gardening at home, I just don't have a talent to get involved in. It's such a surprise for me to see lots of people so good at gardening.

Good evening!!

I also see yellow or pink Angel's Trumpet around here every summer.

They are pretty big.

I am sorry I don't know how to grow it.
