JIMSON WEED
It’s time for my annual jimson weed photograph and tribute to Georgia O’Keefe. The botanical name for this “weed” is datura stramonium, and among it’s common names in different parts of the U.S. are Jamestown weed, thorn apple, angel’s trumpet, loco weed, and zombie’s cucumber. In places where the jimson weed opens only in early evening and at night, it is known as moonflower. It’s a poisonous weed, a member of the nightshade family.
