Last spring a strange plant appeared in our vegetable garden. It had large
furry leaves, and grew very rapidly. I was intrigued, so I left there to see
what would happen. It is now a very substantial plant -- more than two metres
high -- and has developed a number of heads of solanum type flowers. You can
see some photos of it at: http://www.corybas.com/Technical/Mystery_plant.htm

It reminds me rather of tobacco, but a Greek friend tells us that it is a type
of eggplant, and that if we had had it grafted we would have an ample supply of
eggplants.

Can anyone cast any further light on what it is?
