There is a flower that I can't think of the name of . It is a couple feet tall, is an annual but reseeds constantly and it smells like a skunk. lol Does anybody know which flower I'm talking about? Now I just thought of cleome or something like that but I don't know (and that is spelled wrong I'm sure) |

This is from the website you posted. Sometime after I planted them out, I heard that cleome is fragrant. The promise of scent had me watering and weeding my three seedlings, awaiting a flower. This week, the most vigorous plant bloomed. I buried my face in the wispy flowers and inhaled. Quite puzzled, I sniffed again. There was no doubt about it, cleome smells like skunk!
The plants are fragrant indeed. They have a light, musky, animal odor. I would not recommend cutting a bouquet of cleome for the dining table, or anywhere else in the house. While the effect of one plant is mild, I can only imagine the stink that a sweep of cleome would make.

Some websites say they are poisonous and some not. Jack had his leash wrapped around some of these (or cosmos) when I got home (he has to be tied up or he takes off). I wondered if he inhaled the dust from the plant and it made him sick. Its possible so I better get rid of all of them. I never pull them out so they drop the seeds. I found nothing that said cosmos were poison. I have some Lily of the Valley but he wasn't by those |
