What could it be?

Hi,

Sorry I don't have a pic of this plant yet.* I got a seed pod from my mother-in-law last summer, planted the seeds and viola, we have another plant....but, none of us know what it is!* They are perennials, as they come back to her garden every year without her doing anything to them.* We live in Zone 4 (Twin Cities. MN).* I thought maybe Nasturtium, but the flowers do not have spikes on them.* The flowers themselves are quite small, about 1" across when opened.* The flowers are yellow, but some look like they are also orange. * And they seem to close up at night and reopen the next day.* Also, the seed pods are separate from the flowers, and look like fat crowns (they are globular and have spikes all the way around the top).* The leaves are about 4" big, dark green, shaped like shields and have a velvety exterior.* Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.* I know it's very hard without a pic - I will post one shortly.* Thanks so much!!

Hi Runzwthszzrs,

Do you have a picture yet?* You might be able to id what you have using one of these search engines and putting in any details you know.

I'd love to know if you id it.* If not, please post a picture of whatever you do have.* Knowing if the plant grows in sun, part sun or shade, when it blooms and it's height would be most helpful.
