Description: Sacred datura is one of the most beautiful and mysterious plants of the Arizona Sonoran Desert. While it has been used sparingly as a ritual deliriant and medicinal narcotic among native populations, it is dangerously poisonous for those who do not know how to prepare it correctly. Chiefly nocturnal, its delicate and other-worldly blooms can be captured at dawn and twilight near dry washes and riparian areas from April to October but most abundantly during monsoon season after heavy rains and floods.
