Can someone identify a plant with spiny pods, big leaves, thick trunk, and white tubular flowers that bloom in

Question

blooms open in evening

Answer 1

My neighbor had those and the aroma of the flower was wonderful!  But, when I asked her what they were, she told me Morning Glories.  That didn't make sense to me, because they opened in the evening.  But, who knows.  You could do a web search on Morning Glories and see if that's what it really is.  Those pods are full of seeds if I remember correctly.

Answer 2

Sounds like Datura aka Jimson weed or Angel's Trumpet

If this is it, it is highly toxic.  Sacred to certain tribes of native Americans.   Kids trying to catch a buzz off this plant have died or suffered blindness.    

Answer 3

those are angel trumpets.  The blooms are gorgeous but the seed pods look like blown up pufferfish with lots of extra spines!  Yikes!
