I recently learned about a flower, called the sacred datura, otherwise known as the "Moon Lily."

It is beautiful, but every part of the plant is poisonous!

Hmm..........

In the Revolutionary War it was useful. British soldiers would come to Colonist’s homes and demand to be fed from their meager supplies of food. The people figured out that they could extract some of this and add it to the soldiers food and when they passed out they could capture them. It is known as Jimsom weed nowadays. We had it growing wild in the area around one of the barns.

@FreddieUK Read a medical mystery case where family members got really sick after eating dinner and had to go to the emergency room. Doctors were puzzled about what made them sick, it wasn’t a gastro virus and it wasn’t everyone in the family who had dinner together. They questioned them about what they had eaten etc. They had some sliced tomatoes from the garden but not everyone got sick that ate them. Come to find out their hired hand had did a little experiment after hearing he could graft a tomato plant branch onto a Jimson weed plant and it would grow and bear fruit. The tomatoes from the Jimsom weed were toxic. They were treated and nobody died but they sure got sick.

@kodiac Moonflowers, which grow on a vine only bloom at night. They attract those large green luna moths. These flower that he’s posting about don’t grow on vines and they bloom during the daytime.
Ever attempt known, calmly stating no reset is occurring, plan failed, omnipotence is a concept proven impossible
