This just grew in a planter outside my porch. I keep watering it and it keeps on growing.  A bit like Jack's Beanstalk! It has little orangey pink flowers little orangey pink flowers.

Anyone any ideas?  image  Thank you.

    One of the Figwort family? I cannot enlarge the flowers enough to see clearly how they are growing.

    So sorry about the photography.  ( Either too small or too big.) First time I've tried to post a photo like this.image

    Hi Carol. Forget the figwort. Your picture of the flowers is great and I think it is an Abutilon. If you Google Abutilon you might be able to narrow down the type - posssibly Kentish Belle.

    The flowers definitely look like figwort to me. The petals are not all the same, in Abutilon they are.
