Can’t get any fresher than this:Â the seeds are still on the plant.
Any guesses what plant these prickly seeds might grow into?
Edit:Â The answer is now posted.

Those rather plain mystery seeds from last week grow into a plant with spectacular flowers.
The Datura (also called jimsom weed and other common names) grows wild here in Arizona. You can often see it along the roadsides.
Although beautiful, Datura plants are members of the nightshade family, and contain poisonous chemicals.
The gorgeous white, tubular flowers are open mostly at night. Does this give you any ideas as to what might pollinate it?
Our mystery seeds are about twice the size of a tomato seed.
They are from a plant that grows wild in Arizona.
Any guesses?
Edit:Â The answer is now up.
