What Is This Beautiful Pink Wild Flower ?

At a first glance I thought it was 'Honesty' but it can't be, Jac - mine have gone to seed. Sorry, pass.

I think the Leaf is Different 2 Honesty Spritz :/ Iv looked in My Wildflower Book & cant see it in there either? Its has the Most Gorgeous Perfume :)

Someone will know (said she confidently)....lol.

LOL, I Think Hywel /Toto/BB might Spritz as their real good with Wildflowers :)

I looked at Honesty and lunaria dediviva but not quite right, I do wonder if it is a garden flower gone astray! 4 ft, is some noticeable plant!

Hi Telme i thought Hoary Stock !But My Book says it Grows 80cms? Im 5`3 & this is just above my shoulder ! so def a good 4ft :)

Now we ALL want to know, Jac!

Lol ,Well 1 things 4 sure Spritz il get loads of seeds from it as its Full Of Gorgeous Flowers :)

It looks like a good drk purple form of Hesperis matrionalis to me.

That's really beautiful!

!! Goodness Big Name Boggy ! Dames Violet ! Grows a Good 90cms which is 3ft3inch ,il go measure it see how big it really is :) Flower looks the Same :)Thanx

Glad u like it 2 John :)

Hello Jacque I have just rushed in from the garden to say as Owdbody suggests Hesperis, the candida has hairless leaves but white flowers, so I wonder if it could be a cross with the lilac flowered ones. You might have a new cultiva!!

WOW! Really thats Fantastic Telme ? how will i know if thats So? is there some 1 i need to tell/contact in the Wildflower Know 2 get it seen ect? :)Iv just measured its hight 2 & its 54inchs 2 tall flower top ! 4.5 ft! :D

Our honesty is still in full flower. Must admit the leaf shape makes me think it must be honesty. But I could well be wrong.

We have one this colour in the garden, been here for as long as we have. Must have planted it, but since it has seeded around, it has moved a long way from any original label.
We do not have Honesty, yet!

By the way there are commercially available different forms of it. This one could well be H.m. lilacina.

I don't know what this is, let me just say, but I don't think it's a wildflower at all. The flowers LOOK like daphne, but those heart shaped leaves aren't right. And it's definitely not honesty, leaves aren't right for that either, nor is it Hesperis, again, leaves aren't right.

Never Mind Mims im just so happy with it being in my garden its name dont matter that much :)

Wow! That's such a lovely plant you have there Jacque. Four feet tall too - blimey.

Thanx MBD :)

Ok, then it is a definite crucifer (the shape of the flowers is a cross made up of a pair of opposite petals). Big family though.
The leaves look right to me, if a little large, but then if the plant is as tall as that then the leaves are going to be big too.
Will go and take a picture of mine when it stops hailing and then we can compare.

I first thought that this was a phlox, but it is definitely Hesperis matronalis as far as I'm concerned, as the first pic under Google Images I looked at was exactly like this in flower and leaf form. Beautiful pic, Jacque. :-)

Thanx Boggy /David :)

oooo thats caused some answers hasn't it!!! the leaf doesn't look quite right for honesty, do let us know if you find out what it is jacque its really pretty.

I know what u mean SK the Flower & Leaf seem to be a Rite Muddle dont they ? looks like 1 but not other ? Wonder if i/we`l ever Know ? lol

I personally would say its dames violet, the lunaria rediviva is said to have hairy stems and the leaves are sharply toothed and the upper leaves are stalked where as the dames violet has shorter stalked toothed leaves

VERY fragrant LUCKY YOU

Thanx Moonkins :)

hesperalis ie sweet rocket in these parts

Jacque, I posted a photo of my Hesperis for you this evening. Take a look and see if it looks anything like this.

I does look the Same Spritz but mine is so much Bigger? Must be something in the Soil it likes :D

Hi Jacque. Looks like Honesty. I've posted a pic for you to see. Hope you can read the text.

A Big Thanx 2 every Member who helped me ID this Wildflower :) Jacxxx

Yes, but is it identified? What's it called, I want one!

Hi Mims its Called Sweet Rocket :)

Is it really? i have a white one but not as nice as this!!

Hi SK il be saving Seeds From This so il put u on list :)

Hi Jacque, I'm so chuffed 'cos I've realised that I've got this plant too! I ordered Sweet Rocket plants which hadn't started flowering properly when you posted, but now that they are blooming they are the same as yours except that they are only 3'3" and perhaps not so wide.
Yours was a lovely photo.

Its great 2 know uv got this plant 2 Merlinbabydog :) Butterflies seem 2 love it :)
