My 32 year-old son died 5 days ago after ingesting Angel Trumpets. We buried him yesterday. He listened to people's advice about the correct way to use them. There is no correct way to use them. Please do not try. Growers, please keep a close eye on your plants. People may sneak and pick them to use. The results can be deadly. Grieving Mom I want to add my testimony.

I came across this page because i too have been trying to figure out the difference. I have a Datura and I sell its offspring at a local farmers market. I have always refered to it and all those that look like it as an angel trumpet, only to be corrected many times by others. Not wanting to be misleading to my customers I decided to do a little research today. Most of what I have found in my research says what you have both said, and that is while a datura is often refered to as an angels trumpet it is a not really but a devils trumpet or jimson weed. from what i can tell to be specific the angels trumpets (burgmansia) form more of a tree and the flowers point down, while the devils trumpet (datura) forms more of a bush and the flowers face up. I found all of this very interesting and will now know why i am often corrected for referring to it as an angels trumpet. thanks for the post.

I have grown this plant before from volunteers I found and would like to grow more, but I need to know the latinate name before I go buying seeds.
