LOL, good catch ApplegateRanch.

Thanks for the ping Red.

It looks a lot like the male flowers on my spaghetti squash. I'll see if I can get a picture.

The flower and leaves indicate it's from the cucurbitaceae family, a squash, pumpkin or even a wild cucumber. It also is showing some powdery mildew on the leaves, a common pest to that family.

Since it's a mystery, not deliberately planted, it may have come from compost, a bird feeder or some animal.....take your pick. Wait for the fruit to develop then you'll know which it is. My guess is squash due to it's compact appearance.

Looks like a volunteer squash of some sort, i.e., probably won’t fruit, or the fruit will be inedible. Pretty plant though!

Looks like summer squash, I have some growing in my backyard and the flower looks like the one in the posted pic.
