Hi Everyone,.....found this interesting plant growing in the back of my BIL's property....it was already "spent" - dried & withered with what looked like a seed head remnant partially attached....but no seeds. Since he would be re-locating some of the dirt/topsoil from the very spot this plant was....I thought I'd "save" it and dug it up. There was a tuber....similar to a 4 o'clock tuber and I potted it - started watering it. Surprise! It sprouted new growth and recently this flowering emerged. I'm hoping someone may recognize it. I've done some searching to try & ID but with no success. Probably considered a "weed" is my guess but I think it's an interesting plant. Will have to wait to see how big it grows....the old growth was only about 2 ft but in the recent drought conditions....maybe with a little TLC, it will rebound. I've taken pics of the leaf as well and will follow this post with one. Thanks for any input and direction! Oh,..BTW...we received about an inch of rain this evening when that front passed through...thank God!
