Impressive datura patch

Recommended Posts

An eye popping amount of D. stramonium, not far from Kim Dotcom's mansion.

They actually look intentionally planted :blink: and despite the drought they seem to be flourishing.

Wow... that takes me back.

Back at my old place in semi-rural Southern Africa we used to have HUGE amounts of this stuff. Loads of wild dagga (leonitus) and wattles too.

Wonder if Kim's a psychonaut...

What the heck! What good could an entire garden of Strams do for anyone? (other than nefarious schemes)

Fortunately I was downwind so I managed to avoid that repulsive aroma. I actually spotted a big individual plant first off just when I was driving. The shape of datura's is so distinguishable and unlike most plants it caught my attention straight away, then I noticed this whole packed area of plants with similar foliage, I couldn't believe it. further into the property where two big commercial greenhouses full of plants so god knows what was going down in there :huh:

This is the third time I've stumbled across datura growing this summer.

Holy shimmoley

Nice find bud

were you rolling about in the patch like a happy puppy who found some stinky roadkill?

go check out those greenhouses, you are likely to find a fellow ethnobot if they are planting that much datura.
