Interesting re the datura - they were definitely growing at the edge of the rainforest and I don't think they'd been planted. Another garden escapee maybe?<br /><br />sheer heaven....yup!The Constant Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219672153177538912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-72572903972029151882010-03-25T14:06:07.672+00:002010-03-25T14:06:07.672+00:00Fabulous flowers!
The white spidery lily is Hymen...Fabulous flowers! <br />The white spidery lily is Hymenocallis; the Lobster claw Heliconia, H. rostratus and Brugmansia (datura) below it are not Asian but New World, I think.
