..
The leaf and fruit structures appear to be that of a begonias species or cultivar...

Very pretty Angelwing Begonia.

I've got one for you, Barb.  Felder said that he wouldn't be able to tell until it flowered.  It just came up out of nowhere and I think it's very pretty.

...I'm definitely not Barb, but that one looks like a Basil...Did you have some there last year?...

Agree with Ron.  Break off a leaf, squish it some, smell it, if Basil you should recognize the scent.  It won't bloom until much later if it is Basil.

Guess we will have to wait then.  Sure looks like Basil though.

Felder said that if it had a square stem it would be in the family with the mints (including basil) it doesn't, though.  Neither does it have any smell or taste.  It looks like a small flower bud has formed so it won't be too long before we know.

I thought mint as soon as I saw it,but have no idea why. ;D
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none.

My mystery plant that is not basil flowered.  The flower is trumpet-like, similar to a petunia.
