Great job on your blooms, David! Impressive for your location. I'm sure you'll enjoy looking at them, even if 1 sniff is enough, and hopefully it's just my nose being weird about it.

Sorry, IDK. I bought home-propagated cuttings that were just labeled "Datura." I never tried to ID them beyond being Brugmansia, not Datura. In my short time with them, I didn't have any specimens that would have visually enhanced any database entry for such a popular kind of plant, and wasn't interested enough in it to do shots like back of leaf, or stem.

And, not to be picky for its' own sake, a distasteful exercise in any context, but because I think you'll be interested to know how to best use binomials, species names aren't capitalized. To avoid confusion in a discussion where the genus is already established, putting its' first letter in front of a species, like B. arborea, is the usual convention. Then everyone can instantly recognize that it's a species name. Capitalizing a species could lead to confusion about whether it's being used as a species of the genus under discussion, or if discussion of a new genus has arisen.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
