    It looks like the bloom of a sweet potato vine!

    Looks very similar to Purple Datura, (very poisonous plant).

    We have both white and the purple one. Whenever I see this plant, I pull it out. As it's a threat to young children and pets. It's extremely invasive too.

    Datura as far as I know are all poisonous ! II made the mistake of planting some once ! Then I learned that this plant is the same as what was known in the west as (loco weed) !
