Name That Plant!

Unknown plant, but I like it...

What is this plant please. It was planted via seed perhaps three years ago. It is now at least 138 cm or so. I am at a loss for what it is as I had another assortment of seeds that I had collected and I threw them all into a small area. Please note that this would be in Zone 6b in its current location...

Did you perhaps plant any tree seeds? This certainly looks like Maclura (osage orange). I started some from seed two years ago and it looks very similar.

Oh, I believe that you may be correct. Among the majority of the plants that I had put to seed, I would have played around with attempting to start Magnolia acuminata, Diospyros virginiana and Maclura...as they may be more finicky in my area it would be a trial. Thank you for the recommendation!

It looks like a Bouganvilla to me.
