PLease look at post 11 here where it's said that if another physalis spp is within 500 m of a single plant it can pollinate it.

I just looked at the original content of the link that several gave and found that it had been altered as to content, but I believe that others have said the same as you, that you had only one plant and got lots of fruit so I believe that original info which is found in post 11 is probably still correct.
