unknown plant

[Guus]

Hi all,
Does anyone of you know this plant?
Found a single plant in the Netherlands. Looks like an exotic plant.

Thanks for the help!
Greetings, Guus

Abutilon theophrasti

Looks like Physalis.

Another vote for Abutilon theophrasti (Velvetleaf).  Are the leaves (and stem) soft like velvet?  The leaf vein structure is very different in Physalis.  Abutilon theophrasti a common weed in farmer fields here in the central USA, but very easy to control in the garden.  The seed heads make nice dried floral arrangements.

It's velvetleaf.

Amazing what you can find, Guus!

Rick:

I'm surprised that something that is so soft and velvety will dry so well.....but with another common name of China Jute, it's also a great source of fibre so there's my answer!

Hi all,
Thanks for the quick and sharp identification! I need to collect the seeds, I guess.
Sure it is Abutilon theophrasti. Someone around here told me about the strange plant and I had never seen it before.

Thanks!

It is an invasive (but nice) weed in Europe

Rick, nice florals.  That photo makes me want to "drop in" and have a nice glass of wine or port in one of those beautiful glasses.
