When you are out exploring, beware of this pretty little flower. Known as jimsonweed, devil's trumpet, or moon flower, the Datura stramonium is very poisonous, and intoxication typically produces delirium, hallucination, hyperthermia, tachycardia, and even death!. So, look and admire, but don't touch!

The Devils Trumpet has been used as a poison by natives for centuries! They are in bloom right now. Numerous sources say this plant is especially dangerous to children.

While out exploring with your little ones or animals, I wouldn't let them sniff or pick this one! They may smell and look pretty. But they pack a powerful punch that you may not walk away from.

Possible side effects are confusion, difficulty breathing, hallucinations, amnesia, coma and death.

Gambling has always been popular in Arizona. The denizens of the Old West loved to gamble. There was faro, and poker, and black-jack, and Mexican monte, and horse racing. From what I have read about Arizona history, people would go to church on Sunday, and after church, since everyone was down town, and football hadn’t been invented yet, they would race horses down the main street of town. It was more of a drag race than an oval track like today.
Well, there was a guy named J D Rumberg who served in the Arizona Territorial Legislature in 1879 as one of the two representatives from Maricopa county. Ol’ JD had managed to lose a lot of money on the ponies, and, perhaps under influence of the good Christians of the territory, perhaps on his own accord, he introduced a bill to the Territorial House to ban gambling on horses in the state of Arizona. When the bill came up for its second reading, a representative from Pinal County stood and added an amendment exempting Pinal Pinal County from the ban. Then someone from Yavapai County stood up, and added an amendment exempting his county. And so it went, until the entire state was now exempt from the ban on horse racing except Maricopa County. Then stood John T. Alsap, another representative from Maricopa County, who later gained fame as the first mayor of the city of Phoenix. Alsap added an amendment exempting all of Maricopa County from the ban on horse racing, except for a tiny area, defined by some very specific geographic coordinates. The vote was held, and the bill passed. And that is how it became illegal to race horses in north Glendale on J D Rumberg’s ranch.
