What is the name of these flowers?

I picked some seeds off of some nice blue flowers near the hospital last summer. Plants are coming up but I have no idea what they are.

Photobucket is out of order. I have been trying to upload these pics but they won't load. existing pics won't load either. I will try again later.

sorry these pics are so small I uploaded them to craigslist.

I'm pretty sure these are Cleomes -- Spider Flowers. I love those! They're nitrogen fixing, too, and is thought to be the unrecognized 4th Sister in the Three Sister planting of Corn, Beans, and Squash, for drawing pollinating insects -- bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies love them.
