It's very poisonous. The flowers are pretty white trumpets but don't let it seed. It gets quite big. The seeds are sometimes in birdfood. That, I think, is where mine came from.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

It’s also famous for being the subject of several very well known paintings by Georgia O’Keefe
