Default Help ID a plant

Can anyone help me identify this plant
http://mysite.freeserve.com/Donnysite/ It grows about 1m x 1m during
the season, before being killed by the frost (northern England), and
grown afresh each year from gathered seed.
It has pale blue flowers which emerge from a lantern shaped bud.
My web page skills are not great! but can e-mail a better photo if
needed.



Any ideas?

You should have tried posting it on uk.rec.gardening,

The plant in question is the Shoofly Plant, Apple of Peru
'Black Pod'

Thanks Dave, I am sure that you are right. It certainly fits the
description.
