ID plant please

Hi,



This plant is actually at my brother's house here near Cleveland, Ohio. He thought this may be a melon of some type at first, as he's also growing cantaloupes (started from seed early June), but now he doesn't think so on this one. Here's 2 pics taken September 3, 2007. Thanks much.

it had flowers. those are seed pods) looked nothing like a melon. they probably resembled either hibiscus or powderpuffs... i'd say a mallow of some type. lee

In case anyone else found those snipped URLs a bit hard to deal with, they were of Velvetleaf:

would indeed seem to match the photos.

Thanks much everyone! I'll pass this info on to my brother.
