Help me identify this mystery plant I got seeds from

I was on vacation in Chicago and saw this fantastic plant that would match a portion of my garden quite well. But I have no idea what it is and I have a handful of seedlings I want to make sure I take good care of. I would hate to waste the seeds by screwing up.

Thank you!

Looks like a 'double' Angel's Trumpet to me... not sure of the scientific name, but I think it's a Datura of some sort? ::looks expectantly to the more scientific minds on this board:: :D

I agree with Sienna Dawn. It's a double angel's trumpet.

You can see a picture here that is very similar to yours:

hehehehe snork :P :lol: I just now noticed this as a flower. I had seen it at a house and wondered why they were growing Jimsom weed. Guess they are really beautiful, but, like morning glories and johnson grass, I cant find it in my southern farmer girls heart to encourage their growth.

This is indeed a beautiful plant, but very toxic. :(
