These are definitely cleone. Love them. If you take the seeds at the end of the season, replant next year and they will keep growing for you. They are perenniels

Nicotania. Perrenial. I have them too. The birds planted them a few years ago. I love them.

These are Cleome plants. We have re-named them to...Friendship Plant...because all our friends just love them. They will reseed for next year....but the pods in the fall will be overflowing. Remove the seed and you will have plenty for next year. Enjoy !!!

Cleome... and there are other smaller varieties too. I love them because they "volunteer" aka reseed each year. I have a couple of plants that do that, vinca, marigolds, portulaca, gay feathers... I just strategically move them around, add something new here an there and it looks like i've worked really hard and my neighbors love them....

They are beautiful but they are full of thorns. I don't feel their many good qualities compensate for the pain.

Cleome. Definitely not nicotinia, and never found any thorns on mine. They are annuals here, but will reseed themselves and come up again next year. Lovely.

This plant is called cleome. It has seed pods that drop open in the fall and therefore, self sow. The deer don't eat them
