I got this as a mystery plant... i have no idea what it is...can you help? ( photo / image / picture from Yankee In NC's Garden )
Maybe a cucumber plant. Watch for yellow flowers and eventually cucumbers. Are their vines and are they prickly?
I, too, thought that it was a type of begonia...it is a perennial...so I don't think it is a cucumber.
If it is a Begonia, I have always had them in the house, so don't know if it a perrinial. Are the undersides of the leaves kinda red? Are there any blooms that can't be seen in the picture?
This is an angel wing begonia. I have 2 different kinds- one blooms a pretty pink and white blossom and the other blooms a sort of a salmon color bloom. They are so easy to share- just cut it at the joint and root it in water. My grandmother started mine about 25 years ago and I have given a million of them away. They do not like direct sun- but can take the East texas heat if you keep them watered. Right now we are at around 100 each day with the humidity making it feel like 105. So it will take heat. Enjoy it. I saw them in the Bahamas and they were 10 feet tall bushes.
