    Datura

    I agree with Datura: D. Stramonium I think. Can be a showy flower but definitely not good for animals. Very prolific - one plant last year mowed in with the bush hog and we get 20 plus plants this spring. Oops!

    Datura/Devils trumpet

    Easily started by seed, not cold tolerant, unpleasant smell but the double or triple bloom makes it worth the trouble. If the trunk was a dark color most likely a purple variety, more of a woody appearance will most likely be of the yellow variety. Careful if you have children or pets.
