WALES,
United Kingdom 
Is this another weed I've been nurturing?!!!
Though this was A Trycirtis Hirta but have been told it's not but not sure what it is now. It's either a stray seed or was in the compost so any ideas anyone as I don't want to continue to nurture it if it is, in fact a weed!!

Looks a little like Datura stramonium (Thorn Apple) which is a weed of cultivation.

It does look like a datura, but I kind of like the flowers. As long as you deadhead it, you should go ahead and enjoy it. The farmers around have them, but it hasn't strayed into my yard.

It could also be something like Fat Hen or one of the Goosefoots. Still hard to tell at the moment.

Datura stramonium (Thorn apple, Jimsonweed) is what it is.

Thanks all. I will see how it pans out but researching it tells me it is poisonous??

I'm still not convinced. I think it may well be Maple-leaved Goosefoot.

Any of the daturas & brugmansias are poisonous. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be used. Just keep deadheading - they will spread.

Not Tricirtis hirta, Oddbillie. It looks more like Solanum family to me. Keep it going for a while and see what happens, it might be a rarity :-).
