I've inherited a garden that's full of surprises, I'm figuring out what everything is so that I can care for it, as well making my own additions

Agrostemma githago

Looks like corncockle, an annual wildflower ☺

If you have any other flowers do they have only 4 petals or possibly 5? The corn-cockle or Agrostemma githago usually has 5 petals but it looks very close ?

I think it must be a deformed corncockle flower with a petal missing and only one petal has the heart shape to it.

Btw, I read all parts of the plant are toxic so wear gloves if you need to handle it. ☺
