Macaranga Grandifolia. The leaves are nice and big with an unusual texture and shape.

But I think that this is considered a weed over here.

These are just freak seeds that had 2 embryos growing out of a cut. A novelty and a conversation piece at this age but when these grow up I don't think that you can tell them apart from coconuts that were simply planted close together.
