Hi there. A friend of mine gave me some seeds from a flower, and I would like to know what this thing is. The plant grows about 3 - 4 feet high, and has delicate pink flowers on it. In August-September, the plant develops small pods full of tiny black seeds. The pods range from 2 - 4 inches, and are only about 3/8 " in diameter. The big purple bush full of flowers that you see in the picture is an aster! I just can't figure out what these pink flowers are - so I hope that you can help. Thanks so much!
Howdy Vicki, Eric is correct. The plant is a cleome. You can keep your own seeds if it is not a hybrid. Otherwise seeds are readily available in all garden centres. Peace Thean
