Default Mystery Plant

Thanks - Im pretty sure its not Brugmansia / Datura though. The photo
may be misleading I think. The flowers are much smaller; 3cm . The
foliage does look pretty similar though.

Its probably also worth noting that Im in the north of the UK, and
Datura would probably need some nursing here - its unlikely to self
seed.

However that sounds a bit negative - thanks for the suggestions. They
are appreciated.

Looks like some kind of Jimson/Brugmansia variant. Don't carve that
in stone, just my unedumicated opinion!!!!

Reminds me of a Datura.
