The Datura is full of flowers

Happy Friday my friends.

We came home from Rome early this morning to be greeted with this lovely thing by our front door:

datura

In a space of week, it woke up and produced all of these lovely flowers. It’s quite unfortunate that my gardener decided arbitrarily to chop the thing while we were away last time. I’m nurturing it back with judicious pruning. Hopefully it’ll be okay in a couple of years.
