DescriptionDatura metel 'Fastuosa' multiple corollas part-open, full face.jpg
English: The multiple corollas of a partly open flower of Datura metel 'Fastuosa', viewed full-face, showing the long, tubular, claw-like teeth with their inrolled margins. Visible in the centre are the purple-speckled stigma and the stamens, the latter contorted / distorted and only partially distinct from corolla lobes - a result of selective breeding by the pre-Columbian horticulturalists who created the 'species' Datura metel, with its bizarre forms, from the true species Datura innoxia.
Flash photo, taken at night to highlight the colours and textures of the corolla.
Flower borne by a plant container-grown in a conservatory in the UK.
