growing like wildfire in Sugar land Tx. Just bought the house and these plants shot up from 6 inches and smaller to now 1 to 1'1/2 feet. Growing sparse pedals on top now and have a hairy stalk, that oozes when injured. weather has been warm mornings 70's cold nights 50's with some rain area gets lots of sun and smells like poop (but its the plants, probably)
Looks like a Cleome. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=c...sa-OeDdgJAL&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=1019 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleome
thank you yes that's it, they (previous owners) must have planted seeds before they left the house. has a strong odor at times, are there less stinky versions.
