yes, and cases of death here in san diego. 

i was interested first, in what plant this actually was, and second, what 
caused those deaths.

yes, im pretty sure. the tree daturas (to the best of my knowledge,) do 
not grow in the united states naturally. They also have rather LARGE 
flowers, compared to the 4-6" inoxia (or perhaps it *is* strammonium) 
flowers. 

one might also think that a tree datura would grow in trees. the daturas 
i am referring to grow next to the road at a ranch near my house.
