My seedlings have finally bloomed, despite my pinching them back. Now I'm not sure what they are!

This one (of two) is at the cottage, has many blooms and buds and is about 3' tall from the soil line. The blooms are buff-coloured and vaguely fragrant but not in a pleasant way. The one at home is pictured in the datura forum -- some of you will recognize the setting (and the pot!). It has only one bloom and drops other buds before they even get to 1/2" long. It's awfully crowded with those cannas -- I had no idea they would get so big!

Shucks, I was really hoping for an exotic fragrance to go with the tropical look!
