Despite this
Venus-ruled plant's fearsome reputation in Western
allopathic medicine, its flowers have long been
considered a medicinal herb in Ayurveda. This
tropical annual plant has flowers that can be up
to 7 inches long. They open at dusk and give off a
wonderful scent through the night, which shows
they have some Moon influence and makes them great
additions to a Moon garden. The flowers last
for only one day and are succeeded by spiny, weird
seed pods. Datura is one of the baneful herbs. It
contains the same chemicals as relatives
like
henbane
or
belladonna
and should not be ingested. If you wish to
interact directly with this plant, try the
scent. This plant is also
known as Hindu datura, dhatura, and Horn of
Plenty. This plant can be 3 feet high and 3 feet
wide.

them.
