Earlier I asked a question about a blue member of the Solanaceae that
came from packet of seeds of geographically unspecifed "flowers
of the meadow".
Now a white one has flowered:

It is characterized by a corolla that is 35 mm long (1.4") and which
never opens more than is shown in the photo.
Any suggestions about ID?
It appears to be a _Datura_ species, probably _D. stramonium_
["Jimsonweed"], trying to flower as a seedling. As with _Nicandra_,
your previous plant, the adult plant is typically much larger [and
also with considerably larger flowers in the case of _Datura_].

[there is also a form without the purple pigmentation of this one]
It occurs to me that both of these large coarse annuals are likely
to die from the first significant frost long before either can
become large. Is the remainder of the warm growing season likely to
be very long in your location? [If you're posting from the tropics
or from the southern hemisphere, nevermind...]
