A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? Cleome

Who can tell me what I am growing in my House?
It came up in one of the flower pots, and I let it live all winter........
I thought it was a cleome.........But it has jaggers on it and is fuzzy on the trunk........Is that what cleome is ?
Oh the leaves are hummpy............\
It appears to have a bud on top......Will know in a few weeks what color it is.

It certainly looks like Cleome to me.

Is it scratchy and humpy leaves?

b

There are varieties that are kinda hairy and spiny,
Cleome hassleriana for one.

Sorry I can't help you out with the identification but couldn't help commenting because I just sowed some Cleome rose Queen seeds. I've never even heard of this plant until this spring so if yours is Cleome I guess I'll know what to expect. Looks real nice though. If you could post a pic of it when it blooms I'd love to see it!

Well is sure is a heavy duty.
And I will certainly post it, after it blooms.

Thanks for helping.......We dont plant these out till middle of may here.......
This grew like nothing inside.

I think that it is a very healthy cleome. I have them come up from seed every year and they look pretty much like your plant.
