Datura metel—shown here “Purple Ballerina” variety, with double flower.
All parts of Datura plants contain dangerous levels of tropane alkaloids which are highly poisonous and may be fatal if ingested by humans or other animals. Datura metel may be toxic if ingested in a tiny quantity, symptomatically expressed as flushed skin, headaches, hallucinations, and possibly convulsions or even a coma.
