Unknown plant

I have a plant that came up from seed and I am not sure what it is! Any help would be great!

Flowers remind me of Lungwort, but foliage is wrong.....

Still working on it.

It would help if we knew where you are located... Also whether this is a sunny area of the garden.

The plant is in full sun and I live in Zone 7. The leaves are prickly on the back size like a squash plant.

Definitely not squash! :lol: :wink:

I was thinking about Mallow earlier, but the flowers are wrong. Then I started thinking some type of geranium...... but I don't think that's correct either.

TOUGH ONE!!!

Still working on it! :()

Theres something oddly familiar about it..... can't quite place it. like eggplant-esque... but it could just be imaginary in nature...

I think we need to know where the OP is located -- where do you live?

Yeah. Midwest is too general.

Also, did you PLANT these seeds, or is this just some random showup?

If you planted them, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe you could narrow this down for us?

Maybe Heart Leaved Bergenia? There are some pale pink varieties. Some have the ruffles on the leaves. All are fuzzy. The flower stalks look correct...

What do y'all think?

I don't think heart leaf Bergenia. The description I read said dark green glossy leaves. These are pale and fuzzy with spikes on the under side.

Could these possibly be some kind of datura / jimsonweed? Has any of them produced seed pods yet?

The flowers are not that large, the plant itself isn't either. This is proving to be a brain stumper!
