Ooh,Ooh....I think I got it! :Glee:

Nicandra physalodes(shoo-fly plant)

http://www.zanthan.com/gardens/plants/nicandra.html

Looks like it to me too!!!
I see it's a native of Peru, and is also called the Apple of Peru.

It's funny because I saw something on the river, all over, growing like a weed, that looked just like it last week. I told myself, "no! Couldn't be!"
Then I read it's become a noxious weed in some areas! hahaha!!
Interesting!

Glad it's been identified, hugs, Peg
How are you?  I'm great!  Glad to see you! Hope we meet again!

Sarah, do you agree this is a shoofly plant as G-Mom suggested?  Let me know so we can mark it solved if you agree.  :ThumbUp:
