Huh. It seems I didn't mention my indoor Datura at all. Ever. I don't even have pictures of it, except for a tiny bit of a leaf in the background.
Well, that's all about to change right now!
At the same time I took cuttings of the recently mentioned Alternanthera dentata and Ipomoea batatas from the Mr. Yogato garden, I took Datura and Verbena cuttings. The Verbena died ignominiously. The Datura, however, trucked along, as is its wont. And now, it is flowering. In my window. Heck yeah!
I haven't found any indication that this is regularly grown indoors--it is, however, commonly used a a landscape plant here in DC. (Side note: The only reference I could find of anyone growing Datura indoors pretty much year-round is from a druggie here. Experimenting with Datura is, in my opinion, idiotic. I in no way encourage anyone to try. But the guy here mentions that his Datura was particularly prone to spider mites--gah, will I never escape their webby grasp?)
