These look like the ones I had growing last year in my flower garden. i didn't know the real name of them as I got the seed from my best friend who lives in Virginia. Are they the same type flower as mine:

The third image just looks like the folded linen of a table napkin, great shot.

Yes, i did not think you would but thought it was worth while letting you and others know that they are dangerous. Very nice photography as well.

That's them, there is a beautiful double trumpet purple variety, these come up from the roots every yr, perennial, and they self seed if you just leave them in a flower bed, well at least in the Texas where we are. The seeds evidently are hallucinogenic but, LOL, I don't go around tasting the ornamentals. I had one person inquire if the Salvia in my yard was 'that kind'. I told him the mood altering Salvia wasn't ornamental sooo no! There are various types of night shade that grow wild around here also. I have indigenous side oats growing, canas that I've had for 36 yrs, day lilies, spider Lilies, and all sorts of other plants that come back every yr, they make nice subjects from time to time.

I forgot the grin I meant to add after that sentence. It's good to know that they are poisonous. I will tell my friend about that as well. Thanks also, for the compliment on my photo.

It's good to know about the plants, those seed pods from the datura have sharp spikes all over them, I use gloves to remove the seeds for planting. And I keep the seeds high up in a shelf away from kids. Wonder what would happen if mice found em?😀
