| A friend has a 30 inch plant growing in her yard with a large leaf on reddish stems. It has a small star shaped pinkish flower that developes into a golf ball size, spiney seed pod. Any idea? Thank you for your time. Jan |

Here's a webpage with several photos - compare it to your plant and if it matches, we've solved the mystery: http://www.missouriplants.com/... |
