This plant started growing with the seeds of sweet red peppers. Thought it was a pepper because it looked just like all the other plants. The flowers open at night and early in the morning and are closed during the day. Help me find out what this is it's driving me crazy and it's huge! Flowers have a kaleidoscope look.
