Unfortunately, I don't have a pic. The flower I'm looking for is white. At least, I've only seen it in white. From a distance, it looks like a large petunnia. I mean LARGE.. and the leaves are dark green and large. The plant maybe stands about.. oh.. 1.5ft tall. 2ft at the most. A lot of my neighbours have it, but, its not something I exactly feel comfortable going around taking pics of people yards (though I'd love to..there are some nice ones!). Anyone have any idea? If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer from what I've seen. I almost thought it was a moonflower, but, its not a vine. It's frustrating, is all... If anyone can help, its appreciated... Thanks! |

How many petals does it have? Is it fairly flat, or more conical? Are the leaves waxy looking? What shape are the leaves? |

Sweetpea, you are probably talking about "Datura" Angels Trumpet which makes a mounding bush. There are singles, doubles and triples that are just absolutely gorgeous. Here's a website with some good info: [B][URL=http://www.rootcellar.us/wildflowers/datur a.htm]Datura[/URL] [/B] Attachments:  |

For zone 5a they would be an annual unless brought inside for the winter. |
