Any ideas? I am pretty sure I will recognize the name when I hear it, I have planted different seeds in that pot over the last 3 months hoping something would come up. I really wanted a Moonflower Vine but this isn't it. Unknown ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )
I've never had any of those seeds, but a bird might have planted it for me. That's how I got a really hot pepper plant out back last year.
I dunno Toni.... I think it looks very close to a Moonflower. The first plant that I thought of when I saw it was my Ballerina Angel Trumpet.
It's not vining but forming a nice single stem with each set of 2 leaves opposite each other. I think I need to get our my seed containers and see if I can figure out what I might have planted there.
Toni... I was just thinking... maybe it is your Moonflower and it just hasn't matured enough to start climbing? I still think it's a Moonflower... the leaves are just so similar. Here's a photo of the one I had a couple of years ago. Yes... it's climbing, but the leaves are so similar. Moonflower ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden )
Still no idea what this plant is. It is not a vine. This photo will show a bit of how the leaves grow on the stem, two every inch or so opposite each other and the sets of leave alternate which sides of the stems to come from...i.e. one set on the north and south sides, the next set of leaves on the east and west sides.

Well Toni--ther more I think about your plant, the more I am inclined to go along with Cheryl. Well, m0ore so that what I thought that it might possibly be. I don't think thet the leaves look enough like the Physalis alkekengi. I have never seen a moonflower plant here, so I can't speak with any authority. I am quite curious what the outcome will be.
I noticed this afternoon that I do have a Moonflower vine coming up in another pot (took long enough ) Right now it only has two tiny leaves and the seed casing still attached, I will keep comparing the two and see what develops.
