Can someone tell me what this plant is? It came from my sisters garden but we don't recognise it, maybe it is a weed, it has grown and flowered incredibly fast! Thank you for any help.

It's Great Willowherb, Epilobium hirsutum. You can see the huge 4-lobed stigma flopping out of the flower in the first photo.
