It looks like the leaves of a Peony that we have up north.

Debra--Peony is what I thought too at first ...we've got one in the ground with leaves still but they're different--split leaves, not palmate...also
don't know that Peonies like Southern Baja.

I wondered about that too (Southern Baja) But, I suppose that if someone was caring for it, why not? The leaves look just like what we have up here.
BajaJudy, can you post a picture of the flower, or describe it? Now you have my 'need to know' thing going on!

As I said it hasnt bloomed yet and it is beginning to appear that we will all have to wait until then to solve this mystery. It is getting pushed out
by the okra so I hope that at least one makes it the flowering stage.
Vamos a ver

Judy, you took a trip to the states earlier this year. Did you perhaps stop and pick something up in Okrahoma?

If I knew, I would be telling!

We also have okra and this is not okra or, if it is, it is a weird variety...no flowers. The stalk is purple. I tried to get a photo but none of
them are clear enough to see. But here it is.

I hope so we need some rope!

It looks like some flowers will be blooming out of the axils of the leaves - keep us posted it could be a type of hollyhock!! My best new guess!!!
expiring minds want to know.....

Marv, I just had a look and the flowers are forthcoming.
Weedy, is that another word for mota
Mexitron...I think that it may be okra. This is a good thing because the other variety has just about run its course.
Cypress...we fry the okra in corn meal, salt, pepper

And the winner is
OKRA
Finally got a bloom and although after Don Jorge's pic, I was pretty sure that is was okra, the bloom proves it.
We have never bought those seeds but people bring us seeds all the time and most of our friends know that we love okra so voila.
Thanks all
