This plant is so pretty, but yet so toxic! All of the plant is dangerous if ingested, right down to the seed. It is Datura, also known as Angel Trumpet or Devil Trumpet.

This is just one of many Angel Trumpets blooming in my garden. The flower will only last one day and then forms a large seed pod. 
Being curious, I opened the very prickly pod. Although this is a toxic plant, you can see the perfect heart shaped seeds that is formed inside the pod. Just another proof of how truly amazing nature is.

Although it is beautiful flower, it is very invasive. I am still pulling them out of my flower bed. But let me tell you a story about them and you might want to think twice about whether to plant them. I had some by the front of my house and apparently the seed blew into my veggie garden in a row of lettuce. When I cut the lettuce to eat, it looked just like the rest of the lettuce as I has planted a row of variety lettuce.
Photo Description (The Hornworm is not a worm. It is the larval stage of the beautiful Sphinx moth).
This huge 'Datura Metel Triple Yellow' is poisonous to humans and animals. The tobacco hornworm is immune to it's toxic properties. This one 'worm' seems hell bent on consuming this entire plant and so far he's doing a pretty good job. He's cutting off leaves with stems three times the diameter of a pencil. As my 'countryfied' neighbor would say, 'He's just trying to make a livin' for his self'.
Photo Description Years ago, I learned an old saying. 'On gloomy days, carry your own sunshine around with you'. Some people have the ability to do just that....and it's such a pleasure to be in their company.
There was a hard shower during the night. And now, the sun is up but not out. No matter, Mr. Datura metel 'Triple Yellow', though still sporting a few rain drops, radiates his own bit of sunshine.
