Ah Daturas are so beautiful... don't sniff in the pollen though... or do if you want to hallucinate!

How wonderfully odd an image. I love it. And the title. There are tessellated brick footpaths just like that around where I live.

I didn't recognise these as Datura until Jams pointed it out. Is the pollen active then? I thought it was just the seeds.

Delightful!

Merci de tout coeur.

Jams,
beautiful and dangerous – a combination often to be found, hm? Almost as often as beautiful and empty-headed.
Passing the Angel's trumpet in the evening when the 'trumpets' are opening themselves and effusing [?] a captivating scent is wonderful, though.

S.E.,
ha. Now, that's a lovely com(pli)ment. Thank you.
As for your question: I do not know whether it's the pollen and/or the seeds.
That's, however, one of the easiest question to answer for our hallucination-expert, Jams O'Donnell Esq..
Jams?!

Claude,
you are surprising me.
Delightful?
Ah ... you do not mean the whithered blossom, but the thought behind, hm? :)

The photo just appeals to me, Sean. A withered blossom retains a special, unique charm. Like an ageing face, wrinkled by time. And that solid, beautiful stone accentuates the fragility of the dying flower.

A charming (and moving) setting....

I knew you meant the thought behind.
