    Question Flower ID help

    In the Spring I planted either a "hummingbird" or "wildflower" mix and have since lost the pkg and have no clue what this flower might be. It's about 36"tall, has small scalloped edged leaves & is quite pretty as you can see. Any idea what I have here? I'm hoping it's a perennial. Thanks for any light you can shed on my mystery flower.

    Looks kind of like wild geranium. Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum)

    If that's not it, can you post a pic of the leaves?

    Don't have a clue either........maybe take a side shot so we can see how deep it is. Looks pretty flat in the pic....like it opens quite wide.

    Will be curious to know what it is..........nice color!!

    I think you may be right! I'll try to get another pic today, it's getting towards the end of the growing season and the plant is showing major signs of going by, I'll see what I can do.
    Thanks!

    I was going to post a pic of the leaf on the mallow and found this......

    It looks like it is your flower...color and all...except the leaves are variegated...........are yours?
