I need to be getting me a book I think - any good ones?
This is growing in the South - so warm loving- the leaves look similar to that of a native violet but the blooms are all wrong for the ones I know of.
Any ideas what it could be or can you point me in the right direction?

White - with the red/pink stems.
Does this help? I didn't think about it but it looks like it is in a prepared bed- it may not be a wildflower per se.

Is it a begonia? It's pretty, whatever it is.

It sure looks like it now doesn't it? I'll have to ask her when the pic was taken.
I had assumed it was now- but it may not be.
Sure looks like it. Thanks a lot.

Yep. Every now and then I know a thing or two.
