Hi,

This plant is actually at my brother's house here near
Cleveland, Ohio. He thought this may be a melon of some
type at first, as he's also growing cantaloupes (started
from seed early June), but now he doesn't think so on this
one. Here's 2 pics taken September 3, 2007. Thanks much.

a melon? first, it's not a vine & second, the flowers (when
it had flowers. those are seed pods) looked nothing like a
melon. they probably resembled either hibiscus or
powderpuffs... i'd say a mallow of some type.
