The flower of the night blooming Sacred Datura (Datura wrightii) begins to unfold in the dusky gloom of evening.

Common throughout the desert Southwest and Mexico, the plant is considered poisonous and is said to be a mild to potent hallucinogen. Georgia O'Keefe found the trumpet shaped flowers so attractive that she made many famous paintings of them.
