  Thanks Dennis, i was wondering what it was called. Do you know where they usually are from because i found this one in the Grand Canyon, but i think it comes from elsewhere.

  Tanner, i'm no botanist! i may even be wrong about what it is. i don't know where the Datura variety is native to but it grows really well in Central FL and one can even find it at the nurseries, occasionally.

  Beautiful capture this tricky one! Most records would originate this to India & Central Am; One of the first plants recorded sacred plants used in mystical practices (I'm no botanist, but I am a naturalist!) ;-)
