I had no idea Queen of the night is a name of Datura!

Never heard it called that in the UK.

If you travel to the Sonoran desert, and see this fascinating plant, it's unforgettable. The large lily-shaped blossoms open about 7:30 pm on June evenings with a visible untwist from the bud and very slight pop open. It also earns its Spanish name: Reina de la noche.

Thanks that's so interesting!

I have some Datura tincture, although I never use it because it's so toxic. I use the homeopathic version instead.
