Moonflower in Bloom!

Finally, my first Datura to bloom this summer. There should be a lot of them this year as I let them go to seed last fall and they fell helter skelter around my planter. This summer I've transplanted them around to different areas. They belong to the family, Solanaceae or Nightshade. They are often called moonflowers because they bloom at night and smell nice. The deer don't like them because they are poisonous. They are also known as Angel Trumpets. I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of these in bloom!
