It's Datura stramonium aka Thornapple which grows in the wild and seems to
be cropping up more and more often on urg, perhaps as winters are milder.
It often comes from birdseed, apparently but is poisonous to humans and
other animals though apparently, in Japan it has been found useful in the
treatment of brain tumours. Don't allow it to seed.
