    Your Datura is really lovely. I've no idea what that bottom one is, but it sure is pretty. :D does it have a scent?

    Glenda are there different types of Duranta? I have something that didn't have a tag in it. Thought I had ID'ed it when Toni was showing some pics. Mine has tiny purple flowers with white on the edge of the bloom. The leaves have points on them. I'll get a pic posted.
