Identification: The unknown plant

Hi all, is there anyone who can help me identify this plant. I can not remember what it was I put for seed (nut) in the pot at Christmas 2010th. What I know is that I took with me a "funny nut" from Gran Canaria and it is possibly the one I put into the pot.

Maybe Mirabilis jalapa.

 

Hi Eric, the plant is very similar to a Mirabilis Jalapa, but it is not sown from seed. It is sown as a nut (size is similar to a avocado nut)

I agree with Eric.They produce a tuber that might resemble a 'nut'

It looks like it could be a Datura possibly?

 

Op's plant has opposite leaves Datura is alternate leaved.

Hi thanks for the reply, I am very thankful for your response. This plant appeared strange from day one, it was extremely short and heavy, growing very fast, etc. I will return in a few days when the flowers bloom. so we'll see how those look.

If you want to study the plant closer a high resolution picture on the link below

I'm with Eric - that's Mirabilis jalapa. I'd say that the "nut" you planted was a piece of caudex.

 

Still, the plant does not bloom. but they appear to be red or yellow. Here's a detailed picture of the plant root.
