Why do you say that?

You said some of the seeds came from a car park in Malta, if I recall. At one time, birdseed contained cannabis but in the UK it was banned. Not sure whether the same happened elsewhere.

I think it's Cleome hassleriana.

The leaves are a bit large for it to be Cleome and the plant is now about a foot tall. I have grown Cleome before and it didn't look like this one.

Thank you for your input though Bob.

I dug up the 'cannabis like' plant from my garden a few weeks ago as I
thought the leaves looked interesting and I hadn't seen it before. I
can't understand it being Cannabis. Somebody fairly nearby would have
to be growing it in their garden and I don't think my neighbours would
dare. I live out in the country with only a handful of neighbours.

The seeds I got from Madeira were the Caster Oil and the Morning Glory.


It's surprising how seeds get moved.
I found a small sunflower coming up at least 100 yds from my feeders, I
don't know if it was moved by Mice, a squirrel taking a chunk of food
with the seed in it or by birds but something moved it, and there is no
way it could have blown there.

Madeira not Malta

I'd be pretty certain (99.99%) that the plant in picture 4 is a form of
cannabis. Probably hemp (which is what was found in birdseed) rather
than the stuff you get high from.

It might have a slight smell - a sweetish smelling cross between cat
pee, tomato leaf and mint. The stronger the smell, the less hemp like
it will be

Well I'm even more certain of what it is and it certainly isn't cannabis.
Suggest you check out this link....

I see what you mean Bob. But the Cleome leaves have smooth edges, whereas Lintama's leaves have very distinct teeth. Also, the Cleome leaves are alternate. It's not quite clear from Lintama's photo, but it looks as if her leaves are opposite.

It's hemp 100% or I'll eat all of the plant if wrong! Not a bad idea perhaps
