Mystery Plant part Deux

and once again the garden is full of surprises, notably this one:

No seriously, what is this?
And not only is there another mystery plant, she is living WITH the other mystery plants.  (in fact I think I spied a 3rd mystery plant in that corner but I just CANT with that right now). So while I still try to figure out my first mystery (no news on that front as of yet) we are on to M-2 as I like to call her.

And clearly she's a girl, she has bells, one of the first things I noticed as I attempted my sleuthing.  Here's a shot:


It's a little blurry but those bells seem to house the flowers.  The flowers are pretty, similar to okra in shape and with a small dark center.  They only stay open for a day or so.
 and have a beautiful "star" shape when they first open.


Now google images has gotten me some BEAUTIFUL yellow flowered plants but nothing quite like this. It has grown much faster than M-1 but there is only one of them, hopefully she can self pollinate and I will get to learn what this is.  I have no weeds like her in the garden and so I must have planted her. I tried a leaf-not good- (and probably a habit I should stop).
