ID help

I wonder if anyone can identify this which pops up here and there in my garden.

Thanks

 

Hmm that's an interesting one

are those seed pods or unopened flowers?

 

Some sort of Solenacea, could be a Physalis.

 

Yes I considered Physalis:o it's definitely a Solanaceae of some kind

 

Is it a form of Campanula?

 

Thanks all for the help. I looked at Solanaceae as suggested. It didn't look quite right but was close but searching led me in a roundabout way to Nicandra physaloides. Never heard of it before, but if you google images have a look and see if you agree. Think the peculiar pod things set it apart.

Thanks for the help.

 

I believe it is the Nicandra physaloides (shoo-fly or Apple of Peru) of the Solanaceae family. Never could get it going here ... :DOH:




Edit: Hello Fens ... sorry, I see you have discovered what your plant is and posted as I was typing ... I agree with you on this. It grew wild where I lived in Alabama but I could never get it going here.

 

Yes thank you Victoria, snap!

It's a unusual and handsome plant and is in full bloom at the moment and seems to re-seed itself round and about. Glad to know what it is. Thanks.
