    This has been coming up in a pot inside my greenhouse. I been waiting till a got a little bigger so it be easier to i.d.
    So far it doesn't look like there is any flower bud anywhere. The leaves seem to have some kind of scent to them. At first I thought maybe Peony but I compared the leaves and it doesn't appear to be that.

    I kind of thought lupine at first but I don't think that's it. What ever it is it seems to be doing very well :-D

    Can you describe the scent that the leaves have Petunia as it may help us to ID it for you?

    I think it's Cleome.

    I was just looking up my last year flowers also when Netty said Cleome. Here's one from last yr.

    This does seem like whats growing. I did plant some seeds but I didn't think any were successful. And I especially don't remember putting them in this certain pot that their in.
    Well if we're correct I better do some transplanting because there is 4 plants to be arriving and they may need to finish over wintering in the house if their ever going to have flowers.
    Thanks for the help.
