    Has it ever had any flowers? Can you describe them if it has.

    What was it that attracted you to pick up a random plant from the pavement and repot it every year. If no one can help identify it, then just enjoy that what you are nurturing.

  • With out a picture of the flowers it's hard to say but the leaves resemble the leaves on my Angles Trumpet plants . They turn yellow and fall off if given too much water too.

    That foliage to me resembles a Phytolacca (esculenta???) . I have P.americana which looks 99% similar .

    They are so easy from seed , maybe a bird-dropping ? The succulent juicy fruits are probably irresistible to them .

    My brugmansias have more pointy leaves.

    Can we see the entire plant in its pot?

    Hi Martin 188, if the flowers look like the ones in the picture, its definitely a brugmansia plant. Be careful when handling ,its a poisonous plant. All parts of the  plant are toxic. I use to feed mine at least twice a week with tomato feed.
