I found these seeds in a cool whip container in my Grandparents shed when we cleaning stuff out
No telling how long they were in there, decided to plant some to see what happened
I’ve tried to ID using an app, says it’s okra but I don’t think those are okra seeds





TIA

Looks like Rose of Sharon seeds. Not 100% on that.

I've seen those pods before...the plant leaves look like fig leaves.

The plant material in the container is definitely not okra although it appears the seed pods are very similar to how okra seeds are formed.

I think this is on the right track. Perhaps these?

It’s beautiful, no wonder they kept the seeds.
