    I think that's Datura stramonium which I know as thorn apple. But they are quite trumpet like and might be called angel's trumpets.

    Yep thorn apple or also known as jimson weed. This plant is a powerful hallucinogen and also quite toxic and potentially lethal. One is advised not to dabble with this plant unless you know what you are doing.
