What is it!?!?

Does anyone know what this flower is? It was the last one left at my favorite nursery. They told me the name and I immediately forgot!

    Both of these plants are in the same plant family, the same one that contains morning glorys as well. It is considered an annual and chances are after creating a 4' to 8' bush it will be touched by the cold and have to be cut back if not trimmed severely. Here in Texas where ours are grown in the ground we just let them die off to the degree they have been affected and wait for new growth before we actually cut back. Very hardy and huge for an annual in this plant family!! Roots by ...»
    cuttings extremely well. I have done it in dirt and water. I have all colors available and though they are considered poisonous, none of my animals were ever drawn to them as a plant. From dogs, cats, racoon pet and numerous horses who grazed my flower garden area.

    I would love to have some seeds also. I had Datura a few years ago, they come up later than most of my perennials, they also have "tubers"? Is that an accurate call?Anyway big sweet potato looking roots. I loved them, this one is gorgeous and i havent seen one like it. Mine didnt come up the last few years,I guess I must have gotten all the roots out. Dont know.. Put me on your list? Please?

    WOW Carol that would be AWESOME! Probably too late in the summer for me to grow them this year though...What is the germination to flowering time...do you have a general idea? It doesn't really matter cause if you send me seeds and I can't get them this year I definately will be planting them next spring....I'm working on a plan for a greenhouse Box seed starting frame that should give me a heads up on next year...LOL
