Common name: Sacred #Datura, Hairy thorn-apple, Sacred thorn apple Botanical name: Datura wrightii Family: Solanaceae (Potato family) Synonyms: Datura meteloides #SacredDatura is a vigorous plant that grows 1-5 ft tall and wide. The leaves are broad and rounded at the base, tapering to a point, often with wavy margins. The flowers are the most striking feature, being sweetly fragrant white trumpets up to 20 cm (8 inches) long, often tinted purple, especially at the margin. There are five narrow points spaced symmetrically around the rim. In clear weather, flowers open at nearly full dark and wither a few hours after sunrise the following morning; in cloudy weather, they may open earlier and last longer. The seeds are borne in a spiny, globular capsule 3-4 cm in diameter, which opens when fully ripe. #mobile_photography #phonography #mobilepics edited with #fotorus #nofilter #rainydays #flowering #Flowers #flowerstagram #naturallybeautiful #nature #streetshot #karwar #karwardiaries #androidphonephotography #Waterdrops #igers @legitphonepics @get.free.igfollowers184 @instafameshots @instagram (at Karwar)
