The plant is an un-invited guest. Its growth is so symmetrical and healthy that I did not have a heart to pull it out. I am still not able to identify it. CAN YOU?

Which is only possible if some one is already growing tomatilo plant near by and also producing seeds. How tasty are they as compared to tomatoes?

I have many plants (yellow ones) as weeds and I personally dont like the taste... however, they are loved by bulbuls and maynahs...

The plant is in bloom. The flowers do not open, remain as a tube.

The plant is under a green shade net.
