Jimson weed.

 

[Tuberale]

Jimson weed, Loco Weed. Scientific name: Datura. Pretty poisonous. Usually considered a noxious weed. Some of the more recent cultivars are showing up locally around here in pastel pinks and yellows. I think night blooming.

Be REAL careful with 'em: potent hallucinogenic, too.

I see you live in Va. so would think your marshes would be the same or close to us here on the coast of N.C..That said we call them moon plants/flowers and they grow wild like that all out on the sandy beaches and marsh.I think the proof is in the flower it self in your pic.As they don't open til night or late evening close early morning once the sun gets up good.

Jimson weed.

This pic is definitely jimson weed, but the original post is not. I have no idea what it is..


Yes Jimson weed is a VERY powerful hallucinogen...don't muck with it, I can tell you from personal experience that the trip is not worth the other effects like severe cotton mouth and it affects your vision for at least 2 days...back in high school a few of us read about it and decided to eat some seeds. The stuff grows all over near my parents' horse barn in Virginia...According to the book, the Indians would smoke the leaves or drink the sap, to have "visions"..the effects from smoking leaves or drinking sap supposedly last for days or weeks at a time, eating the dried seeds lasts for 24 to 48 hrs.

We had several friends wind up in the emergency room from it with a fever of 104. We found out later that it will kill livestock if they accidentally eat any of it too.

Sounds like a bright Idea we had when we were young.But with morning glory instead boiled it and made tea mixed with a few other ingreds.WOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo! Not good but live and learn or die trying.

Jamestown Story
The name "Jimson weed," is derived from "Jamestown weed" which refers to the experience of Captain John Smith and other English colonizers when they tried to establish a colony at Jamestown in the Virginia colony in 1607.

According to the story, British soldiers were given boiled Jamestown weed (jimsonweed) which the soldiers ate and then experienced several days of erratic behavior. Several accounts of the incident are given, but the soldiers may have been served this accidentally.

Then in 1676, British soldiers were sent to stop the Rebellion of Bacon. Jamestown weed (jimsonweed) was boiled for inclusion in a salad, which the soldiers readily ate. The hallucinogenic properties of jimsonweed took affect.

As told by Robert Beverly in The History and Present State of Virginia (1705): "The soldiers presented "a very pleasant comedy, for they turned natural fools upon it for several days: one would blow up a feather in the air; another would dart straws at it with much fury; and another, stark naked, was sitting up in a corner like a monkey, grinning and making mows at them; a fourth would fondly kiss and paw his companions, and sneer in their faces with a countenance more antic than any in a Dutch droll.

"In this frantic condition they were confined, lest they should, in their folly, destroy themselves - though it was observed that all their actions were full of innocence and good nature. Indeed they were not very cleanly; for they would have wallowed in their own excrements, if they had not been prevented. A thousand such simple tricks they played, and after 11 days returned themselves again, not remembering anything that had passed."

In drier climates, looks more like the first picture than the second. Also grows on the West Coast. At my grandmother's home, had 4-foot tall Jimson weed. One of my neighbors here in Portland has a beautiful yellow cultivar about 3-feet tall in his front yard. I haven't the heart to tell him how poisonous it is. I've seen in in dry streambeds (near desert conditions) in extreme eastern Oregon, not far from the Snake and Owyhee Rivers.

I'm rather surprised it is sold in Oregon, because Jimson weed is still considered a noxious weed here. Flowers usually point straight up.

In Jean Auel's "Clan of the Cave Bear", a carefully-measured tincture is used by Neanderthals to view the past. Apparently if you prepare it wrong, it can send you are able to tell your ancestors directly.

Gravediggers pic is Moonflower. Jimson weed leaves have ragged edges.

 

[Tuberale]

Looks like same genus, different species. Still Datura.

Love that old story, The fruit of the Datura resembles a small thorny watermelon, when I was about 8 years old, 'friends' told me they tasted like watermelon, I sucked the juice from one, and experienced things no mortal should ever witness.
from what I've read, even inhaling the pollen can have intense effects. Beware.

[Tuberale]

Morning Glory is a vine. Datura an erect woody forb, sometimes perennial.

I was quoting jpitt about the stupid things we done when younger.WARNING WARNING WARNING For the kids they may see this post please don't try these things.AS THEY WILL KILL YOU Not worth it lifes to short as it is.I've tried it all and have lost many friends & family members over the years.And have left me wondering how I made it as I've done just as much with them and more in some cases.

The seeds of many species of morning glory contain ergot alkaloids such as the hallucinogenic ergonovine and ergine (LSA). Seeds of I. tricolor and T. corymbosa (syn. R. corymbosa) are used as psychedelics. The seeds can produce a similar effect to LSD when taken in the hundreds. Though the chemical LSA is illegal to possess in pure form, the seeds are found in many gardening stores; however, the seeds from commercial sources are often coated in some form of pesticide or methylmercury to retard spoilage [3] - these coatings are especially dangerous if you have a history of liver disorders and may also cause neurological damage. [4][5][6] Also, the active ingredient LSA has, in animal models, produced uterine contractions, which could possibly induce a miscarriage.[


No kidding guy's use this info as to EDUCATE NOT TRY And make the best of life while your here.
