This thing came up in a railing planter recently. It's about a foot
high now. I decided to leave it there until I could determine whether
it's something I want to toss out or transplant and keep.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, if that helps at all.

A Solanum. I wouldn't dare attempt to identify American species.

Thanks!

Patty
