My e-mail is on its way!!!!Thanks for the offer. April/dirt_under_my_nails

I would be concerned about new plants taking up the toxins (atripine, scopolamine & hyoscyamine) which may not hurt the plant but may be consumed by you if you eat veggies that have it. All three chemicals are hullicinaginic and atripine has serious cardic and breathing effects making them possibly deadly. I don't know if they would take them up but I would be consirned about it. One story that comes to mind from one of my general physiology courses in collage is as follows. An individual noticed that a jimson weed plant (also in the Solanaceae family) looked just like his tomato plant yet grew much faster. He spliced the upper portion of his tomato plant to the bottom half of the jimson weed thus having a tomato top with jimson weed roots. The story says that after eating some tomatos latter that year his whole family ended up in the ER with datura poisening. Like I said, I do not know if the plants can take these chemicals up, nor do I know if these chemicals are degraded over time, nor do I know if our biology professor was pulling our leg but given any doubt I would not take the chance.

Hey, I can trade you some more colors of irises for the Pink oriental lily. If not interested in that, I have some other bulbs too, Cannas, and a small Bamboo for the pond. Maybe a small water lily. Probably some other stuff too. I have a small pond similar to yours. where do you live in Upstate SC?

That is one single plant that was planted this year. I had not grown this before this year. I don't have anything "coming back". It is in the process right now of dying back for the winter. The first photo is from a month or so ago when the plant was still in full growth. The second two photos were just taken. How/when do I harvest and save the seed from the seed pods?
