I might still have some seeds. If anyone wants some, I'll have a look.
And when ceres runs out, I have another half a million to spare.

the stalk and leaves look very similar to my tomatillos outside - that also produce papery covered fruits like this - or similar fruits anyway. Is flower of peru related to tmoatoes/tomatillos/cape gooseberries???

Yes, I think so. They are all from the Solanaceae family.
