Hi Karma,
What are the requirements, besides having a camera, to be a tester?
Theresa

threas, You will get enough seeds to start some early and plant directly into the soil. These require full sun and rich soil. You don't need to fertlize them unless you want. You can check out our photobucket site or webshots on our dats as to what we have been doing. Our albino was the first attempt to cross the Brug X Dat.

I would like to know what just how these grow, if you get the variegation or albino. Always interested in the bloom, fragrance and if the smell of peanutbutter carries forward.

Sounds really exciting!I wish I had more full sun.I would do it in a minute!

KHT is that one of the varieties you are sending me? I'll be happy to record the progress but am not going to start them until early spring. Just put a note on the seed packet to remind me.

I have a pretty green thumb. (does spray painting it green count?) LOL - Seriously, I am new to both Brugs and Dat's. I might be just the type of person you are looking for in regards to seeing if just an ordinary plant lover could grow them from seeds and keep accurate records on them. I do have a digital camera too.

I grow lots of things from seeds such as cannas, clematis, and other stuff that I like. I get great pleasure out of being the first person to see something come up from a seed. I must say it's an awesome feeling from watching seedlings grow into beautiful mature plants.

I've always been the type of person who counts blossoms, fruit and such on different plants. I would like to be considered for testing your Daturas. I live on 35 acres, have plenty of room for growing anything and everything.
Everything I grow is for myself, I do not sell anything I grow. I do share my plants with other people for postage however. I do not share anything that someone shares with me and ask that the plant not be shared.

I have over 500 different named irises, over 100 named daylilies, over 50 different roses, and too many bulbs to even begin to name. I am very interested in attempting to grow some of your plants in East Texas and document them for you.

Happy Gardening, Marian

KHT - did you get my email?

I'm interested also. Boy my green room is gonna be chock full of goodies!

DH is even excited - calls it the "laboratory" (grin)

karyn1, yes these are the ones we chatted about.
Dweeb, got it and I have added you to the list.

Please email me direct to be considered for this. I will also have D. ferox and D. var rubra available.

Last call!! Thank you everyone for your interest in these and I'm so excited I have some great folks lined up to do this!

I live in South Texas, and would be willing to test some seeds for you. I would not do this until March or April. February is out coldest month. I will plant them directly outside. My datura are about 5 foot tall, and full of blooms right now. Will this have a pretty flower, like the double datura? I am 37 miles north of Corpus Christi, in a town called Rockport, this is my second residence, I have alot of flower beds there with great soil. Barbra,

Iwould love to try some Datura seeds. I live in Seattle and am having a bast with some Angel Trumpets and am ready to expand.

Hi
I am local. If you want to let me give it a try I will give it my best shot. Thanks

hey count me in i will send the pics i just got me a new digital thanks karma..donna

Oh folks, I'm just now checking back to this post. I requested that you contact direct not to post. I'm in the middle of packing up the 3rd round so email me quick and I'll see what I can send. I do have a couple more projects that need testing also. I will not take any more request than the last folks here. Watch for the next project announcement.

Dearest Testers, the fourth round of seeds will be packaged today and all seeds will be out in the mail no later than Sat. so this is your notice. I have recorded this information in a new log and please remember to check in. One tester is going to set up an album in their photobucket which is a great idea so we all can check it out! Thank you all again!! Happy Growing!!

Good luck KHT and testers. May you get some beautiful and unique babies from these projects.

Thanks RA!! Please seed testers let me know when your seeds arrive, so I can check off the journal that yours was received. Some of you may find added surprises ; )

If you are still sending I will test a few. My dats decided they liked me and are blooming their heads off.
