I saw this plant on the far side of the rear perennial bed, and it looked kinda attractive so I left it alone.
A closer look- it has these odd papery things growing on it, hanging below the foliage.
My first thought was tomatillos, or chinese lantern plant- both which I've heard of, but never seen in person before. Looked stuff up- it doesn't match either of those. It might just be a native ground cherry. Which is edibe and apparently has amazing tropical flavor. I'll have to wait and see how these develop.
