Hm. Mine wasn't slight, as I showed you in the old Nikongear forum. It went to Japan for adjustments, only to return a couple of months later; without any single comment. No repairs made.

Frank, your plant is a Canna. There are quite a few species and many cultivars. Many plants for the garden are sold under the name C. indica.

OT..

Frank: It is not the highly poisonous and hallucinogenic Datura plant. So, you are safe :D

I shot these yesterday in a nearby park - I assume these are Datura flowers?

Datura usually have upright flowers. The closely related genus Brugmansia has pendulous flowers. The flowers here look like B. arborea.

Besides, Datura species are annuals or short-lived perennial, herbaceous, and often are dichotomously branched. This looks like some kind of shrub or tree.

Datura leaves are often hairy and smell, like the entire plant, on the unpleasant side. A kind of sickly sweet odor.

Thanks for clarifying John!

True Bjørn - it is a small tree. The flowers has a lemon-sweet odor. A bit too much for me..

I got curious and read this in an article (quote from Davesgarden.com):
"If your neighbour has wonderful Brugmansias in his garden, no problem; but if he also grows Datura do not get into arguments with him, you never know what he might do..."

True. Datura contains narcotic and poisonous substances in the plenty. A real "witch plant".
