    I received this bunch of pumpkin's on sticks as a Thanksgiving bouquet. We have spent the last two weeks wondering what in the world they are. Do you know?

    Looks like a Solanaceae. Probably a pepper. IMAGES

    Try checking out Solanum aethiopicum or Solanum integrifolium.

    Try a comparison to Solanum aethiopicum and to Solanum integrifolium.

    Definitely solanum integrifolium. Found a site selling seeds for...and an almost identical picture. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Looks like Rosemarie and I posted at the same time, with practically the same words! I admit, my suggestions were taken directly from Rosemarie's suggested ID for a photo of a similar plant on another forum. Thanks for the education,
    Rosemarie!
