WHAT IS THIS?
Following on from yesterday's post, I have taken a few more photographs of my mystery plant to see if anyone can help identify it. It has now reached a height of 72cm, flowers are in clusters, each flower has 5 petals and a yellow centre. It has grown from seed, not bulb. It is growing in our back garden, here in SW Scotland, first spotted when it appeared in a hanging basket alongside one of my cherry tomato plants. Is it some sort of red stemmed vine? Is it a herb? Is it a shrub? Is it wild? Is it even legal? Help please. :)

| It's doing well in a pot of compost at the back door |
 |
| Brought indoors to photograph it close up |
 |
| Flowers are in clusters and are pale pink fading to white, 5 petals, yellow centres |
 |
| Leaves have red veins, a flower cluster develops from each new leaf shoot |
 |
| The base of the plant, showing the red stems |
 |
| It doesn't seem to twine around anything, but I've now given it a fan of canes for support |
If anyone has any ideas what this might be, please let me know either here or in the
forums. Thank you.
