a Datura seed landed in the expansion joint on my patio. this is a single plant & it's still growing. the flower only open at night. depending on the temperature they close between 7 & 10 a.m. the bees will stay out late to work the blooms. at night a lot of critters work them including sphinx/hummingbird moths.

No comparison. It just started blooming about a week ago.
