A reader remarks on our surprise garden occupants:
If you’re talking about the plant with the trumpet-like bloom, that is Datura. They open in the evening and are pollinated by the hummingbird moth. They will get a prickly seed pod that spits out seeds after it dries. You can probably thank a bird or the wind for bringing it to your yard.
Ah! Thank you! I see the folks at iNaturalist also identified it as Datura, aka Devil’s Trumpet.
