| Anyone know what these are?? They came up in one of my gardens last year,and i know i didn't plant them.Reminds me of chinese lanterns,and they're on their way back up again,so i assume they throw seeds.
They start out like a balloon,then open into this yellow flower,and fill up the garden quite fast. Thanksagain

| It looks like Physalis longifolia, longleaf groundcherry to me. According to plants.usda.gov, it is classified as a noxious weed in California. |

| Because of that classification, you should contact your county's Agricultural commission. Call them to ask if they prefer samples or digital images. |
