A friend of my dad's gave him some seeds to give to me that are supposed to produce these "big beautiful purple flowers". I asked Dad when he gave them to me, "well what is it?" Only to get a response of "I don't know, just plant them and see". great. I'm thinking, well ok, his friend must have gotten them from his own garden so they must have just now dropped seeds i'm thinking, right? so in nature they would be hitting the ground about this time and plants know when to do all this seed dropping business so maybe i'm in the clear to plant them now. so i planted only 6 of them and reserved another 6 or so for after the winter season when the weather starts to warm up again. I kinda don't want to ask what they are just so i can be surprised, but it would be nice to know so i knew when to plant and what water and light conditions they like...
Oh, and the datura vine is putting out flower buds! yea! about 4 so far in its first year. i can't wait till they open. i will defiantly post pics of them. My dad is so fascinated that the vine stems are almost completely black. he actually goes and points it out to people the come over, saying "look how black it is, weird huh?" And yes, they are coming into bloom from the 3L SIP container and nothing else. I should have started the new seeds in those too, but i didn't have any prepared at hand. I'll make sure to when i sow the next batch tho.
