Mystery Nightshade

I have a strange weed growing in one of my pots. I'm pretty sure
it's a Datura,
but I don't know what species, nor how its seed got into my pot as
no Datura is
native to this part of the S.F. Peninsula.
Dear David,
From the flower shape and color, but especially the foliage
it looks like D. discolor.
...and it is native to CA
... Annie's Annuals sells it, too.
Best Jim W.
