Datura, also known as Devil's Trumpet, is a highly toxic night-blooming flower that, if ingested, causes a state of delirium. Myths exist in multiple cultures in which the personified Datura plant aids people through dreams and visions.
I first became fascinated with this plant after purchasing one from a local flea market. I began to research some basic plant facts to better tend to it and discovered a symbolic connection to my current artwork. Here are some images of my favorite garden creature. You can see why I'm inspired and completely smitten…
