Looks like a white Mirabilis jalapa, Marvel of Peru or Four O'clock. But a picture of the whole plant would help. Lots of our garden plants have toxic properties. Unless you have daft pets or curious small children there isn't really a major problem.

Here is a link that might be useful: Mirabilis jalapa

It does but I've never had one make that many petals on the flower. Maybe another Mirabilis?
