What is this plant? ? ?
I decided this year to try my hand at balcony gardening, so I got a
good-brand packet of pepper seed from the garden shop. When they came up, I assumed they were peppers, but as they matured, clearly they were not. They produced a large number of unusual small blooms, which then turned into lantern-like pods. These pods contained a pea-sized fruit which contained tiny seeds. I should add, the soil I used came from a compost pile in a wooded area behind the house. So I could very well be growing weeds which choked out the peppers. Here is a link to a photo. I'm plainly curious what it is. https://sites.google.com/site/10test20/ |

It could well be that. Also consider balloon vine. Use google images to find examples to compare with what you have. D |
