It is perennial so it won't usually bloom it's first year. But mine looks just like the picture. That funny*LOL I threw wildflower seeds 2 years ago Didnt get much of anything this year but that and Night Shade. Then again NightShade has been a problem for years! Kale Quote \| Reply \| Report

I won't get it on until I get back from taking the girls to the dentist later this afternoon. Drat! Maybe the German Catchfly then? http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/plants/mag noliophyta/magnoliophytina/magnoliopsida/caryophyl laceae/lychnis/viscaria-1x.jpg Quote \| Reply \| Report

It was a tiny dark pink flower. Might still be blooming. The first two didn't. I pulled most of them out except a couple to watch. Then it IS Lychnis! MB, German Catchfly is Lychnis viscaria, so that might be it. I was thinking that it's Lychnis coronaria (Rose Campion), that's the one I had and the juvenile looked like MSBL's picture. Here is the Rose Campion, variety called 'Cerise' (the one I had). http://www.atelier-zen.com/Lychnis%20coronaria_ 1.jpg Quote \| Reply \| Report

Or did you pull them out already? I wanna know what they are. I'm still thinking the second one is Lychnis. If either of them have flowered, they'd be easier to ID now. The third pic flowerd. It was a tiny dark pink flower. Might still be blooming. The first two didn't. I pulled most of them out except a couple to watch. Quote \| Reply \| Report
