A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? No Picture can't remember the name

I think it started with lus... but I'm not sure. It was an annual that has flowers that look like very delicate rose buds. The blooms come in a pastel blue, pink, or white. I was determined to remember what they were so I could get more. And I didn't even get a picture of them. Can anyone guess what they might be?

I looked up annuals that start with Lus, nothing that showed tiny rose like blooms that comes in those colors,, I'll keep looking for you maybe it starts with something else??

Anything is possible. My mind makes things up out of whole cloth all the time. Makes life quite an adventure.

Lisianthus?

I bet that is it Bill, it looks like what she described,,

Yes that's it. Thank you so much. No wonder I couldn't find it. I didn't even have the first 3 letters right.

I've written the name down on a post it, now I just have to see if the local nursery sells them or if I can get seeds.

I ordered a yellow and a red variety of Lisianthus yesterday for the garden. Those aren't natural colors for it so I'm interested to see what actually comes up.
