    This plant started growing in a patch of garden we were preparing. Has lovely flowers and a very distinctive fruit. None of the local nurseries have ever seen anything like it. Can you help me identify it?

    Thanks.

    Thank you David and Daniel. Surprising that the local nurseries could not identify the plant.
