More Plant Pictures
Pictures of some Sacred Datura, a highly poisonous plant that grows all over Arcosanti. They're also known as jimson weed. These flowers bloom at night, last through the morning, and wither between 11am and 1pm, depending on how much sun they receive. Personally, I like the little tendrils that grow between the main lobes of the flower. Kinda cool.

Bob,
Please contact your Aunt Toni about the hurricane in Biloxi...ASAP
highly poisonous, or highly hallucinogenic? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura
in short:
If one ingests the plant, one does not stop dreaming even when awake. Hallucinations caused by anticholinergics are extremely powerful in that they can create fully realistic three-dimensional objects that blend in perfectly with the person's view of the world. This frequently results in dangerous and erratic behavior; hence, experiences with Datura and other members of the Solanaceae are justifiably infamous.
