Could you help me identify this plant? I found 2 of these in a shady wet flower bed. This plant has hairs on its leaves and stems. I started to see them in this June but have never seen them before as long as I can remember. I have been checking it online but can't find it. Is there anyone who know this plant? Thank you for your help!

I thought begonia too. a previous plant may have seeded and over the last few years they may have been growing un-noticed.
There are hardy ones. I had B sutherlandii for years in the open garden until the winter of 2010/11 killed it.

Thank you very much for all your help!! I was thinking it looked like a Japanese pumpkin or a bottle gourd but bit different and strange to have it in flower bed. I have never had a begonia before so I couldn't imagine it. I am so glad to have them and excited to see flowers! Thank you!!
