Rhapsody and Doris - Thank you for replying!

I have had a number of different cultivars of Brugmansias over the years. Many like the ones I am currently growing were started from seeds. I have never, ever seen a Brug bud/bloom point upward. Even a small bud. I really took a close, hard look at the plant. The leaf texture is different. Much thicker than any of my other Brugs. I am starting to think it might be a Datura - Datura inoxia. When it blooms, I will know more. How that seed got into my germinating cups, I don't know. Unless there was some freak incident with the potting soil (which I have never, ever had anything like this happen using that potting mix). I know the seeds were not in the purchased seeds because I had to hand-peel the Brug seeds and I would have definitely noticed Datura seeds. I don't grow Datura and don't currently have any seeds (nor have I grown it in the past 6 years). So how the heck a Datura got into my collection is beyond me! Until it blooms though .... I won't know.

My other thought was whether or not a Brug could cross with a Datura?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
