    I live in central province of New Brunswick , Canada. I took 2 cuttings from a Red Champlain shrub, and put them in a raw potato and this is what came out. Can't seem to find what it is..

    Answer

    Dear farseno@nbnet.nb.ca, good morning. The flowers are of a plant in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), to which potato belongs. Examining the leaves in the background, it appears you have a potato growing, which makes sense given the tuber you used. Best wishes.
