Bev -- google "butterfly plant" unless you know that's not it.
It should be in bloom about now, and sounds somewhat like what you describe.
I don't remember the botanical name. It grows wild all over our area of the
country and reseeds itself, but doesn't grow in groups, just a plant here
and there.
