Torno Loco (Datura ceratocaula)

Datura ceratocaula is a rather unusual one with purple markings through the center and 5- 6 inch flowers. This is my first year growing this variety and still learning its habit due to its origin. The flower has a sweet smell. It is an annual plant that originally came from Mexico. In its natural habitat Datura ceratocaula grows in shallow water or in swamps. The seeds were pretty easy to germinate and seem to love heat and sun. I suppose it's not really a Thorn-apple because the seed pods are thorn-less.
