This is growing in my daffodil and lily bed, where I haven't done much seeding. It's pretty, but not sure what it is! Does it look familiar to anyone? When I saw the blossoms my first thought was bindweed Thumbs down but on closer inspection it didn't look like that to me--leaves are totally different.

I think you hit that right on the head, Horntoad--thanks so much!! Thumbs up
And now that I have a name for it, I recall sowing some seed for it months ago along the edge of the daffodil bed, so it makes perfect sense...

Thank You!

I agree, Mirabilis jalapa 'Alba'

They will self seed or you can dig up the roots and store them in the cellar over winter.

They are tender perennials.
