Night Blooming Moon Flower.


Nature makes me think nicely.

Datura inoxia , or night blooming moon flower, has many alkaloid poisons and nerve toxins that the Aztecs and native Americans used in medicine to heal wounds and block pain. Too much of the "medicine" results in delirium, bizarre behavior and amnesia. Still, it's an ornamental flower in many gardens!

Saw this flower on my G+ stream and wanted to pass it along to my customers
