That is very pretty, Cheryl. Is it another of your wildflower mix? How large is the flower? It is so hard to tell sizes without something for scale. A hand or a foot in the pic really helps.

I think it's very pretty, must have been part of the hummingbird/butterfly mix. The flower itself is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches across, it stands about 7 inches. Not a very big flower but I hope more turn up because I really like it.

I have been googling wild flowers and hummer and butterfly attracting flower and all kinds of things. The closest I can come to your flower is maybe a clarkia? But not sure at all about that.

Or maybe a mallow but it seems too short and small flowered for most of those.

Thanks a lot, I saw a picture of a purple mallow that looked almost exactly like mine, except it was purple so I'm just going to go with that. It's such a vibrant color, don't know how long it would've taken me to notice it otherwise. It really stands out and I love it, I want more of them.
