could be some unusual, or new pelargonium.... U remember anything of the leafs? or a smell? Well, it´s fun anyway :D

Thanks. I think you're on the right track. I searched P. campestre and came across another. It looks a bit more like P. tomentosum, but still not 100%. This plant was about waist high (3', 1m) and unfortunately these are the only 2 photos I have of it.
