Can't be cannabis though. .

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.
