Great responses!
The tea is common. I don't recommend it's consumption either. Many stories tell of smoking it. In Peru "healers" mix it with mesculine for their "journey's". It has hallucinigentic properties.
Ninapup, the Datura family has upright flowers whereas my plants hang down. That is the difference.
I have a few more flowers that I need help in identifying with.
Many are plants/ flowers one see's everyday but finding out what there botanical name is another story. Maybe in this thread we can learn some of these plant names and a little maore about them.

My wife uses an occasional sprinkling of coffee grounds as a fertilizer for our plants. She swears by it. I had never heard of this practice, but it seems to work for many of them.

John, If giving you some plant material is considered a prize than you get one. That goes for all who name these plants, if interested just PM me. Many varieties here, not just what can be identified.
Coffee or used coffee grounds are great for soil. Worms really love it and if you practice this often you will notice the difference in your plants.

How about this one?
