I’m an intermediate amateur gardener who loves all things green and growing. I also love the insects (most of them 😏) and birds that visit my gardens

Help me identify this plant, please! I have no idea what it is, it came from a package of wildflower seeds, but I have never seen this type of flower before. I have it in several colors, including a more purple magenta, a dark coral, and a light peach. It’s about 6 inches high in total, and blossoms appear vertically on the stalk. The leaves also have pink veining. Can anyone help? #whoami #latesummer #wildflower The mystery has been solved! It’s #clarkiaelegans 👏🏼

@ShelleySnyder I think you hit the nail right on the head! When I searched Clarkia, the images match my plants exactly, including the various colors I have. It’s also a wildflower, which fits. Although it apparently is widespread in California, which is a LONG way from my Vermont garden. 😁 Thank you so much for your help!
