Jimson Weed Grows at Larry Moore Park
I made myself walk tonight, and part of the walk went through Lawrence (Larry) Moore Park. It seemed all along the path I saw jimson weed in bloom. Now those white trumpet flowers may contrast nicely with the brown all around and their own green-gray leaves, but the plant has caused a lot of harm when people have tried to use it as a recreational or medicinal drug. One should Beware the Jimson Weed.

Jimson weed has the form of a creeping vine. This is how a typical whole plant looks. You can see the long green buds ready to unfold any time now.
