The Jimsonweed plant has a hypnotically beautiful flower. It also contains datura which is deadly if ingested. Hallucinations, dis-orientation, and convulsions are often followed by death for those who consume it.

The dark tone of the image suggests the deadly side of this beauty. Nicely captured.
