What plant

[malagabob]

Whilst walking on holiday in Spain I came across this plant (didnt have a camera at time).it had single elongated bell shaped white flowers and had produced seed pods which were apple green some quite large, one I picked and it contained unripened seeds in a central pod with what may eventually be parachute type down as in a dandelion.
It wasnt Jasmin I know what that looks like.

[Prudie]

google Datura and see if that's it

Good call Prudie ! You're getting good : )

I know the one you mean, it was in a hedgerow in Tenerife, sort of pod seeds become big seeds with parachutes. It's not Datura.

[malagabob]

No it wasnt Datura Prudie I know what that looks like. Should have added in my description it was rambling over the top of a wall like Jasmin.

unlikely but could be a stephanotis

Good job it wasn't Daturu ("thorn apple") - that's deadly poisonous if I remember rightly.

..Datura even

[rowanwitch]

Trachelospermum....been trying to think of the name since I saw this post..

[AlBags]

Trachelospermum Jasminoides? ... Cape Jasmine?
I thought from original post was really large flower .. which is why I thought Prudie was correct.
I don't think datura would be any worse than growing Labernum TBH.

[Prudie]

Accepting datura is wrong I've never heard of that, googling images doesn't show any flowers looking trumpet like though, more like large stars.

[rowanwitch]

I wonder if it could be cobea scandens alba...not common but it would fit for fruit size

[AlBags]

That's correct. I have a couple.
Now I see the question again : /

Stephanotis would be more like it .. but not for the seed pods I think!
I think we are screwed without more info.

Large trumpets - could it be glennmillerspermum?

Stephanotis from memory, has very hard oval leaves and the flowers have a fantastic scent.
