I am uploading a pic of a Datura found every where in the wild. Non of the locals go near it. Non fragrant.



Now i will show you two other poisonous plants. I don't know the botanical ID but locals say its same family as Datura, which i am taking with a grain of salt.




Next one.

That white Datura seeds itself in the deserts of the Southwest very commonly, too.

It is known to be a poisonous plant, and every summer you hear of kids dying after using the seeds to get high. Very sad.

I agree but this plant is used in local medicine and its also used for visions by witch doctors but then they know what they are doing. In the hands of a novice its poison.
Today its Apocynum Cannibinum, Indian Hemp. Misused due to its narcotic properties, left well enough alone by animals and sane humans and no, its not Cannibus Indica.

Your second plant looks like Ipomea Carnea....Morning Glory Tree.

Thank you JT. After going through every thing about Ipomea Carnea i have to conclude that you are correct. News for me i think now i know why my skin breaks out in rashes when i play around with Morning Glory. This Ipomea Carnea is toxic, at least ours is.

Different strokes etc.We love it here as it stands our heat and Florida sun without complaint.It can be depended
on for bloom when everything else gives up.

You are correct about different strokes. Wild datura and morning glory tree are weeds over here, we prefer to go for other plants. As to our sun, thats killing. UV index eleven, summer temps under shade about 45C and in the open with heat getting reflected from concrete structures, it can easily cross 50C. Humidity lies between 10% to 30% except Monsoons, then it lies about 80%. Fifty miles from my house the temperate zone starts, then the story is different. I will include a few pictures of that zone. Have a garden there also. Its quite a contrast between the two. The pictures will explain.

That is really an interesting landscape,especially the little waterfall.

Perfect for ferns, liverworts, Lichens and a lot of other things.
