Mystery plant ID- see if you can guess this plant!

Inspired by the Okra flower thread, here is another plant for you to guess.

No , not the sweet corn, but this flowering plant came up from last years volunteer seeds.

Its an old school plant with an old school name.

Ah, shucks . . .

That's Polygonum orientale or Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate!

Yep, good job Steve!

I've grown it a few times, Beavis.

I like the height it reaches! It's more of a kiss-me-over-the-8'-fence critter!

Weird... We have weeds that have the exact same flower..... Maybe they're native to my area???????
