My coneflower is looking gorgeous. It has spread out this year all on its own to double the blooms.  To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. - Audrey Hepburn |

Not sure what these are but they are always around. Always a bright pink. Any guesses?  I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.” |

| Picture is a little hard for me to see, but maybe something like Calandrina ciliata? To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. - Audrey Hepburn |

No wildflowers here, unfortunately. They all died out.  Our prettiest wildflowers bloom in the spring, then die out in around late June. Love is patient and love is kind.

I think it is Mountain Pink, Centaurium beyrichii, or a related cousin.  https://www.wildflower.org/pla... Wildflowers are the Smiles of Nature. Gardening with Texas Native Plants and Wildflowers. |

| Ok will get better pic tomorrow it's getting to dark now. I looked up Calandrina ciliata and sorta of looks close but no cigar.and not the Centaurium beyrichii . I've been searching on the internet the wild flowers of western Oregon and no luck. Thank you for all the suggestions. I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.” |

The Lobelia cardinalis is looking fine this time of year. I grew it from seeds from the wild area on family property. A white one even popped up. The swallowtail is 1 of 3 that just emerged today. In the background is a white with magenta eye cultivar of the local pink hibiscus, the Swamp Rose Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos). Blooms are preparing.  γνῶθι σεαυτόν |

A Great Blue Lobelia would definitely look nice in there  Love is patient and love is kind. Always be loving and kind to one another. (Abridged from 1Cor. 13:4) Let’s talk about Animal Fun Facts, Birds, Trees/Shrubs, or Oleanders! |

I promised I would get another pic today... Here's another pic ...they are so cute. Tiny little petals...bright pink.  The flowers close up before sunset . They have a stem 10"-12" high. The hose washer is for size comparison.    I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.” |

Thank you Kim. I can't find it on the western Oregon wildflower site yet. Will keep searching. It is so sweet just love it in a vase all by itself.  Maybe someone will come along with a ID . I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.” |

| @bumplbea - could this be your little pink wildflower? Lady Bird's centaury (Zeltnera texensis) Know it's the wrong part of the country, but looks similar. GrammaChar |

| GrammaChar.. Absolutely  that's the one ... thank you  ... aren't they the sweetest lil tiny 🌸 so sweet. I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.” |

| I'm so excited to have happened upon this thread! And thank you, bumplbea for showing your photo! Yesterday I took a picture of a plant I have never seen before. The photo is not in focus, and I wanted to get one with the flowers open, but I think it might be the Common Centaury (Centaurium erythraea) or Centaurium pulchellum or Centaurium calycosum, now called Zeltnera calycosa. But you've all given me something to go on. It won't be labelled as 'Unknown flower' for long.  |
Name: josephine Arlington, Texas (Zone 8a) Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native. |
| I knew it was one of the Centaury but it is hard to pin them down. They are all beautiful and so delicate looking. Here is a closeup of one and a field full of them that used to be near our house. That field is no longer there, they destroyed it while fracking for natural gas. Oh the consequences of progress.     Wildflowers are the Smiles of Nature.

| It sure looks like the same flower and stems , leaves. Nora. Wow a field full of wildflowers. So disappointing the field is no longer there. I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.” |
