It's Cleome or Spider Flower. It's an annual that self-seeds easily.

Hi Carol, it is a Cleome, Planting cleomes is often necessary only once, as this attractive annual flower re-seeds prolifically and returns year after year.

Chloe Crabtree · Answer

Cleome - Cleome is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cleomaceae, commonly known as spider flowers, spider plants, spider weeds, or bee plants. Previously, it had been placed in the family Capparaceae, until DNA studies found the Cleomaceae genera to be more closely related to the Brassicaceae than the Capparaceae
