My brother found it in the woods (in Middle Georgia). It was a green tennis ball - sized pod on a single stem. The pod was split so when it dried I open it to find over a dozen brown seeds that were about the size of fat butterbean. I thought it looked like something you'd find near a pond but my brother found it under some trees,probably pine trees. I'm really interested in finding out what it is and what the flower looks like. I've never seen anything like it---it's very alien-looking.

The pod was dark green and round like a tennis ball (and about the same size as a tennis ball.) It was on a stem and not a vine as a passion flower or maypop. Thanks for your answer.

Was the pod green and egg shapped? If so it is a faux passion fruit vine.

It may be a "balloon plant".... Asclepias physocarpa, a type of milkweed. Its not natural to Georgia, though. If you have a photo, please post it...sounds interesting.
