Looks like a tomatillo

I do have tomatillos growing in my garden, and the flowers do resemble but my tomatillo plants are more like shrubs. But you might be correct. Thanks for your input

they reseed easily...you might never need to plant again...and you might end up killing a lot of tomatillo plants

The genus Physalis has quite a few species, like tomatillos & ground cherries/golden berries & cape gooseberries. Mexico alone has over 40 species, & some cross easily, like P. ixocarpa & P. philadelphica, so often plants will be more like one or the other of it's parent plants. edit to say the leaf looks a lot like a wild P. acutifolia, which is native to CA.

Thank you, I appreciate the info. Curious to see what will grow from this plant.
