unknown plant identification #210269

Asked September 02, 2014, 1:33 PM EDT

I have this plant that began growing next to a rose bush on its own.  I cannot identify the plant or the vegetable/fruit that is growing from it.  Could you please help?  I have more pictures if needed to identify.

Thank you,

Hi Lynn, 

this unusual weed, with sticky leaves resembling those of cucurbits and flowers resembling Catalpa, is called Devil's Claw (Proboscidea louisianica)
