    My daughter received this plant from someone who told her it was a Thumbelina plant but another person recently said it looked like a wild toxic weed. Just wondering if anyone knows exactly what we planted in our herb garden.

    One of several black nightshade species of which Solanum nigrum is the representative kind. These are often asked about on social media because they seem to be able to find their way to vegetable plantings and similar efforts on a routine basis.

    Thanks Ron for the ID.
    I think we will be pulling this plant out of the herb garden.
