This year it is 'Datura Sativa', which flowers similarly to an up-flowering Easter lily, but has certain medicinal properties.
Are you sure about that name? I couldn't find it in a search. And all the daturas I know about are toxic.

'Medicinal' in medieval terms...as part of a witches ointment...to make them believe they were flying.
This stuff is not to be messed with casually. I knew someone who pulled up a stand of jimsonweed by hand and had mild hallucinations afterwards.
