Datura

I just noticed a slug is carving holes in my datura plant's leaves. But the plant is a hallucinogen. I wonder if those slugs are tripping yet?

Here's a picture of a datura flower from past years. The first time I ever saw it bloom was at night, which is common.

Datura, sometimes nicknamed locoweed or moonflower, and known historically as jimsonweed, is a woody-stemmed annual (I think). After the flowers grow, the plant grows these ping pong ball-sized seed pods that look really wicked and drop some fairly fat seeds so you can keep them for next year. I have a pair of them in my garden this year. One was bought and the other was a volunteer.

A relative of datura, known as brugmansia, has flowers that hang upside down, leading to the downward-facing ones to be known as Devil's Trumpets, and the upward-facing ones Angel's Trumpets. As far as I know, they are both poisonous to all mammals.
