Identity?
The plant is an un-invited guest. Its growth is so symmetrical and healthy that I did not have a heart to pull it out. I am still not able to identify it. CAN YOU?

Re: Identity?
Which is only possible if some one is already growing tomatilo plant near by and also producing seeds. How tasty are they as compared to tomatoes?

Re: Identity?
I have many plants (yellow ones) as weeds and I personally dont like the taste... however, they are loved by bulbuls and maynahs...

The plant is in bloom. The flowers do not open, remain as a tube.

The plant is under a green shade net.
